Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong admitted some relief after their 1-0 win against Levante.
Ronald Koeman's side are now nine points behind leaders Real Sociedad as they cling on to their chances of winning LaLiga Santander this season.
"We needed the win after losing to Juve," De Jong admitted afterwards. "It was tough, but we're happy."
De Jong impressed himself in midfield, getting the assist for Lionel Messi's winning goal in the second half. Is it a step in the right direction for the Dutchman?
"I hope so," De Jong said. "I have to improve a lot. I have to each season. Last season was pretty good, but not very good."
