La Liga 2019/2020 | Barcelona 5-2 Real Betis: 4 players that impressed for the Catalans  

#3 Frenkie de Jong

The Dutchman continues to impress from the center of the pitch

Frenkie de Jong was unarguably Barcelona's standout player during pre-season, as the 22-year-old slotted in seamlessly into the team, and impressed all and sundry with his effortless ball distribution and technique.

He however had a less than spectacular debut in the 1-0 loss to Athletic Bilbao, and would have been eager to make amends with an improved display on his next outing.

This proved to exactly be the case against Real Betis, as the Dutch international was deployed on the right of a midfield three also including Sergio Busquets and Sergi Roberto.

Barcelona had 71% possession on the night, and a lot of that was down to Frenkie de Jong's calming influence in the middle, as his passing was pristine, while he also dictated play through the middle and was almost unplayable, rarely put a foot wrong for the entirety of the 90 minutes.
