Surprise Barcelona star set a new La Liga season record for chance creation vs Elche | OneFootball

Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong was responsible for a head-turning statistic across the 90 minutes of the club’s latest outing.

This comes owing to the Dutchman’s exploits on the creative front.

Barcelona were of course back in action on Saturday evening, making the trip to Elche for a La Liga clash.

When all was said and done, the Blaugrana emerged on the right side of a 3-1 result, to maintain their advantage atop the Spanish top-flight table.

The aforementioned Frenkie de Jong returned to starting duties for the fixture, after sitting out in the Champions League in midweek through suspension.

And the former Ajax man went on to conjure up nothing short of a world-class performance in Alicante.

As much has since been highlighted by a head-turning statistic, revealed by WhoScored in the game’s aftermath.

Ahead of the likes of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Kylian Mbappé, De Jong’s four big chances created against Elche marks the most of any player in a single La Liga outing in 2025/26.
