‘Frenkie de Jong is undervalued’ – Xavi hails Barcelona star after Atletico Madrid win

Xavi Hernandez praised Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, calling him an undervalued and complete player following Barcelona's victory over Atletico Madrid. Speaking ahead of upcoming Nations League fixtures against Greece and Germany, Xavi stated that coaches and teammates recognize De Jong as the team's best midfielder despite outside perceptions.

De Jong played a key tactical role against Atletico Madrid, initially featuring at right-back. After recovering from an ankle injury that sidelined him earlier in the season, he has now returned to full fitness and is set to feature for the Netherlands national team.
