The match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid on Sunday witnessed a rare consensus around Dutchman Frenkie de Jong, as the Barça player succeeded in earning praise from both his critics and defenders alike. On a night when Barça's coach Hansi Flick surprised everyone, including Atletico's coach Diego Simeone, by deploying him in the right-back position, a surprising decision that placed the player in a tough test during an important match in the race for the top of La Liga.

According to "Mundo Deportivo," a section of the fans praised De Jong's readiness to help the team in a new position without objection or hesitation, while others felt that Flick could not afford to overlook his technical abilities, regardless of the position he occupies on the pitch, especially since the player has proven his ability to contribute in multiple positions recently.
