Frenkie de Jong’s perfect statistic in Barcelona vs Las Palmas – Report | OneFootball

In the heat of the moment, Barcelona often notice their most composed players shine the brightest. While everyone else is running and doing whatever their adrenaline pushes them to do, such players almost always find the right manoeuvre. Fortunately for Barcelona, they have a plethora of such players.

From midfield stars like Pedri who continue to showcase their true quality this season, to players like Dani Olmo who can turn the tide of any game at a moment’s notice, there is no shortage of talent at the club. However, it is perhaps even more special when big performances arrive unexpectedly.

For Frenkie de Jong, the truth of the matter is that he has been enjoying a great 2025 in a humble way. Not flashy or extravagant in any way, the Dutchman has instead used his consistency and composure to showcase his impact on the team’s recent form.

Against UD Las Palmas in Barça’s most recent outing, the Dutchman was just as effective. While he did not start this time around, he was brought in later by Hansi Flick to replace an exhausted Pedri and it resulted in yet another solid display.

As highlighted by Mundo Deportivo, De Jong entered the game late in the 85th minute but played until the end of stoppage time, one which lasted eight additional minutes. During this time, the Barcelona midfielder undoubtedly brought in some much-needed stability.

He attempted 16 passes during the 13 minutes that he was on the pitch, and completed every single one of them. Through his creativity and composure on the ball, he made sure that he kept possession circulating and never let Las Palmas get too comfortable.

However, this is hardly the first time that De Jong has finished a match this season in which he had perfect completion when it came to his passes. Even in the nail-biting victory over Deportivo Alaves, he was crucial in terms of being perfect with his distribution and completed all 41 passes that he attempted
