LIGA - Luuk de Jong takes Lionel Messi's place at Barca

Arrived at the very end of the transfer window, Luuk de Jong joined FC Barcelona on loan from Sevilla. While no longer used by Julen Lopetegui, he found in Catalonia a coach he knew well from having worked with him in the national team, Ronald Koeman.

The Dutchman was officially presented on Thursday. At Camp Nou, he took the place of a certain Lionel Messi. Indeed, we see him settling in the locker that once belonged to the Argentinian, before his departure for Paris Saint-Germain.

¡DE JONG SUSTITUYE A MESSI!
