Barcelona ace Frenkie de Jong hailed his midfield teammates for Sunday's victory over Real Madrid.

Sergi Roberto and Franck Kessie struck for the 2-1 win on the night.

De Jong said, "I'm very happy, this is the first home win in a Clásico and we are now 12 points ahead of Real Madrid.

'" It's a big step forward, it's not over, but it's a big step forward. Kessié's 2-1 gave us a dream.

"He and Sergi Roberto made the difference, playing great matches in addition to the two goals."
