I honestly think it’s between three players: De Jong, Van de beek, and Bentancur(although this one might be a biased pick) De jong was amazing and one of the main reasons why Ajax made it the Semi Finals, sadly he isn’t showing his exact form in Barca as in Ajax, but he’s still a quality player Van de Beek has been amazing his season and last season, just contributing to goals and his work rate is amazing. Bentancur has also showed he can be a quality player, but he doesn’t get as much play time as one would want him to, but he’s also a really good midfielder with amazing work rate

I picked Van De Beek. But who ever says Frankie De Jong is overrated just as I read in one of those comments bellow is the most clueless fan to eve exist. For the fact that u av never watched or like a player before those not make him overrated. Currently Barca as a team lack that X which make them barca
