The cession of Luuk of Jong to the FC Barcelona, the past summer, went one of the most argued movements in the market. Few understood the insistence of Ronald Koeman in carrying to the Camp Nou to a player that was the acting of the acting in the Seville, of literal way. With surprise, the bet was accepted and the Dutch leaves of the Barcelona picture being a very respected player by the fans. After the last party of LaLiga, the forward was applauded in way of farewell, put in brief will return to the rows of the group sevillano.

In the derbi of the second turn, the Barça was about to to leave three points in the RDCE Stadium. It went losing 2-1 in the end of the statutory time, but a double expulsion of Melamed and Hammered, after encararse in the 90+3', caused that Hernández Hernández added a minute more in the discount and went a balsam of 'luck' for the culés. Adama Centred and Luuk of Jong appeared with an unappealable head butt, picadito down, to sentence the meeting... And give him a new point to the culés.
