Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong insists there’s no excuses for their slow season start.
De Jong, however, says things are now coming together for the team.
In LaLiga Santander, the Blaugrana are sat a total of four points behind leaders Atletico Madrid, but in reality, this is a false number as Atleti have three matches in hand on the Catalan giants, meaning they could be 13 points ahead if they win them all.
As such, Barcelona aren’t seen as having any great chance of winning the league title this term, but De Jong believes that they can only look to themselves as an explanation for that.
“I think there was a lot of changes at the club,” he said.
“The beginning of the season was more complicated because of that and because of a pre-season which hardly happened.
“We must look at ourselves.”
