With each passing game, Frenkie de Jong gains importance and influence in this Barcelona side and he showed it again as he came off the bench at the Estadio Benito Villamarin.
Coming on as a central defender, he was supposed to be rested but Ronald Araujo's injury forced Ronald Koeman into a change of plans.
He played from 11 minutes in and completed every single one of his 82 passes, giving a 100 percent pass accuracy.
Preferred to Samuel Umtiti off the bench, it was easy to see why looking at his statistics at the end of the game.

There is nothing dejong can't do. If he plays upfront he scores. If he plays in mid, he provide assists. If he plays in defence, he denfends better than main defender(lenglet).#SmilyDutchman

Valverde was good. It’s just that Neymar left and dembele got injured a lot. Not to mention that he discovered Fati and gave him a debut.

Valverde never even lost a match to Madrid. Maybe once. But he always managed to embarrass them, even when Messi didn’t play.
