The Dutch international formed the heart of the defense in that game with Gerard Piqué, replacing the slightly affected Clément Lenglet. The French defender came in in the final phase, for midfielder Sergio Busquets. De Jong completed the game.
“Frenkie in the center of the back is an extra option for us,” explained Koeman. “Lenglet had some physical complaints. We can use De Jong more often in that position if we think we will be in possession a lot. Then by sliding forward in midfield he can provide one more man. ”

Koeman was full of praise for his German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, who celebrated his return after a knee operation with a number of nice saves.
“Of course we know that he is a great goalkeeper and during the training sessions we saw last week that his top form was coming and that he is ready again. He was fantastic against Dinamo. ”
