It’s only three points, and we have to keep going like this.” He added that while there were moments of tension between players, “at the complete of the match we saw things between the players, we help each other to compete between the players. Since I was little I’ve seen these things. They are only words, there is no bad intention. With determination, it has helped us a little more. I like that. The match is played on the pitch, but we have to keep going like this.” Jude Bellingham also received praise from his teammate, with Tchouaméni noting, “Jude likes this kind of match, he has shown his level with a tremendous match. The whole team has done an incredible match, pressing all together. This match will help us throughout the season.” Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong reflected on the team’s approach, saying, “I didn’t see what happened…” before his comment was cut off in the live feed. Earlier, midfielder Araujo expressed disappointment, stating, “We leave sad since we lost against our biggest rival.
