Xavi and Iniesta are back? Frick creates magic, how many treasures does Barcelona have?

In the weekly doubles, Barcelona won a row of Newcastle and Getafe, and the Pedri & Frankie De Jong combination showed strong control.

Against the "Funeral Three Midfielder", Barcelona has "Xavi + Iniesta"

Strong aid Walter Mad sat on the bench in the summer window. Newcastle's confidence lies in the "Funeral Three Midfielder" composed of Tonali, Jolinton and Guimarães. Facing his strong opponent, Barcelona's three midfielders have gained an advantage with excellent technical capabilities, and Pedri and De Jong have performed particularly well.

Felming is close to the front line and has a weak presence. Barcelona is able to control the ball mainly by Frankie De Jong and Pedri. Frankie De Jong's pass success rate reached 98.9%, recording 2 interceptions and 3 steals. Pedri completed the most 111 touches in the game, with a pass success rate of 91.3%, and 12 confrontations were successful. Last season, the Pedri & De Jong combination proved himself, and this time, defeating the funeral three midfielders with softness and hardness, the pair continued their good form and tacit understanding into this season.

There are not much recruitment efforts, and the midfielder is on the shoulders

This time, Pedri and De Jong fought continuously, helping Barcelona win a big victory again. The problem of difficulty in registering players has not been solved for a long time. Barcelona did not move much in the summer window of 2025, and the intensity of signings in the back and frontcourt was limited. The midfield has become the team's most advantageous link. Frick has created a brand new combination of Xavi & Iniesta. After Mark Bernard returned from injury, Barcelona has 7 players to be dispatched in the midfield. Considering that Olmo also has to participate in the forward rotation, Pedri & De Jong's performance is particularly important.
