Frenkie de Jong's agent has not reacted well to reports that the player feigned illness to miss out on Barcelona's trip to Royal Antwerp in midweek, slamming claims as 'fake news' in a furious rant.
The Blaugrana were shocked by the Belgian side - competing in the Champions League for the first time in their history - after falling to a 3-2 defeat in a dramatic encounter on Wednesday night.
The hosts took the lead in under two minutes through Arthur Vermeeren, before the Catalan side equalised before the break, only for former Tottenham star Vincent Jansson to make it 2-1 to Antwerp before an electric finish.
