82 goals! Luc De Jong's headers are second only to Ronaldo in this century

The FC Barcelona has known to take out benefit to the incorporations that has done for this season. One of them has been Luuk of Jong, that went back to appear in front of the Raise with a so much of head that would give the victory to the culés (2-3) to the 90+2'. According to statistics, in this century, Luc De Jong is only behind Ronaldo in the number of headers scored.

Current Barcelona striker Luuk de Jong is the best header of the ball in La Liga right now, at least statistically. De Jong is an orthodox centre-forward, one who is never afraid of going into battle. He is not particularly quick, but his off-the-ball movement and aerial ability more than make up for it.

Seeing the Netherlands international at Barcelona might seem weird to regular followers of the club, as Barcelona have rarely been dependent on scoring through crosses. But without Messi there to pull the strings, De Jong's directness has not hurt.

In his club career, the former Sevilla man has scored 82 headers, 22 of which have been match-winning strikes.
