Frenkie de Jong made his much-anticipated debut for Barcelona in the second half and he was one of the only bright-sparks in an otherwise dull forty-five minutes.
The Dutchman started at the heart of the midfield and it didn't take long for him to make an impact.
Most of Barcelona's play went through the 21-year-old and he registered 24 touches in the opening 10 minutes of the second half, a staggering tally for a player making his debut for the club.
De Jong's unique qualities made him one of the most sought-after midfielders in world football and the Catalan giants didn't hesitate to part with £75 million, a further indication of the player's quality.
The midfield maestro will look to build on his exploits as the season progresses and play a starring role for his new club, as Barcelona and Lionel Messi, in particular, covet the European Cup that has eluded them for four years now.
