Luuk de Jong’s New Year’s resolution fulfilled – he won for Barcelona and gave the winner

As if that was not enough, at the beginning of the game he scored a free kick … Gerard Pique. Another interesting fact – Luuk de Jong after the first thirteen official matches for Barcelona has more goals (2) than Leo Messi (1).
Mallorca, especially in the first part of the meeting, tried to keep pace with Barcelona, but was unable to create much of a threat. Aleksandar Sedlar, a former footballer, sat the whole game on Mallorca’s bench Piast Gliwice. At the end of the game, Marc-Andre ter Stegen showed an instinctive parade after a shot by Jaume Costa.
– I am glad that I was able to score an important goal, thanks to which we won 1-0. Unfortunately it didn’t come after being hit with scissors, I think it would be the most beautiful goal of my career – said Luuk de Jong after the match.
