The Dutchman played his 39th game against Porto in the top European club competition
He arrived at Barça in 2019 after having reached the Champions League semi-finals with Ajax
The Dutchman played his 39th game in the Champions League against Porto last Tuesday. He played the first eleven with the Ajax shirt in the 18-19 season, when those from Amsterdam reached the semi-finals. The rest, all with Barça. In total, 3,223 minutes in which, curiously, He has not been able to see the door even once. In fact, in all those games he has only given two assists, one against Ferencvaros and another against PSG, both in the 20-21 season.
Although it is true that De Jong does not stand out for his scoring ability, these are somewhat humble numbers for a midfielder who, since he arrived at Barça, adds 16 goals and 21 assists. In addition, he has been able to score in the League, Cup, Spanish Super Cup and Europa League.

That is to say, he has scored in all the competitions he has played in the Blaugrana shirt with the exception of the Champions League, a fact that he hopes to resolve this season. It is without a doubt, one of the thorns in his side since he arrived at the Camp Nou and remedying it would mean taking a weight off his shoulders in a tournament that he dreams of conquering one day.
