Frenkie de Jong makes 200th appearance for FC Barcelona

Frenkie de Jong has played 200 games for FC Barcelona, reaching the milestone in Thursday's Copa del Rey encounter away to Unionistas de Salamanca. 

An automatic first team choice ever since he landed at the club from Ajax in 2019, the midfield playmaker is still only 26 and a firm favourite with the fans and coaches, and there is every likelihood of many more appearances being added to what is already a very impressive tally.

He has already played more games for the team than legends Johan Neeskens (183) and Johan Cruyff (180) ever did, and it shouldn't be long before he surpasses Frank de Boer (214). 

There are four more of his compatriots who played even more games for the club, namely Michael Reiziger (255), Patrick Kluivert (257), Ronald Koeman (264) and Phillip Cocu (292), but it is quite conceivable that De Jong could go on to top all of those. Certainly if he continues at the rate that he has until now. Time will tell.
