The statistics behind Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong’s stellar individual performance in the club’s latest outing have come to the fore online.
And they only serve in reiterating just how fine an evening the midfielder enjoyed on Sunday.
Barcelona were of course back in action last night, making the trip to Balaídos for a La Liga meeting with Celta Vigo.
The aforementioned De Jong, meanwhile, featured from the off, from his berth in the middle of the park.
And en route to an eventual 4-2 Blaugrana triumph, the former Ajax man controlled proceedings in supreme fashion.
Playing the game at a speed all his own, De Jong was a consistent source of excellence on the ball for Hansi Flick’s side.
No matter where on the pitch or under how much pressure, the 28-year-old time and again kept possession flowing, a crucial aspect in Barcelona gaining full control over the fixture during the 2nd-half.
And as alluded to above, despite his eventual injury-time red card, the level of De Jong’s peformance has since been summed up by the stats.
As per Sofascore, the midfielder managed the following against Celta on Sunday:
- Passes completed: 97% (116/120)
- Long balls completed: 100%
- Dribbles completed: 100%
- Touches: 131
- Recoveries: 3
- Duels won: 66% (6/9)
