Frenkie de Jong was given an ovation from the Eibar fans when he was substituted in the 79th minute of Barcelona's 3-0 win over Eibar.
The midfielder's performance was full of impressive technical skill and ball control as he dictated the tempo of Barcelona's play.
With 10 minutes to go and the three points all but sealed, Ernesto Valverde wanted to give De Jong a rest ahead of Barcelona's Champions League clash against Slavia Prague on Wednesday and he was replaced by Ivan Rakitic.

He will be the best midfielder in the world, he is already proving why barca signed him, he is young and has all the qualities and brilliance of the game, his passes are calculated and has great vision, he is a incredible player and I hope he keeps up with his incredible form.
