De Jong has established himself as the club's most consistent and used player since his arrival in 2019, with few players in Barcelona's recent history able to claim such an influence.
Since his arrival from Ajax in 2019, his statistics have shown remarkable consistency. He stands out not only for his number of appearances, but also for his contribution to victories and his reliability under various coaches.
Since his debut on August 16, 2019 against Athletic Club, De Jong has played 267 games, an unmatched total at Barcelona over this period.
His longevity and consistency have allowed him to transcend coaching changes, earning the trust of Ernesto Valverde, Quique Setien, Ronald Koeman, Xavi Hernandez and now Hansi Flick.
The Dutch midfielder dominates the ranking of appearances at the club, ahead of Marc-Andre ter Stegen (232), Pedri (212), Sergio Busquets (186) and Ronald Araujo (182). This underlines his central role and his ability to be a long-term part of the team, all generations combined.
His record in terms of victories is just as remarkable. Even though he has played alongside stars such as Lionel Messi, it is De Jong who leads with 168 wins, far ahead of Marc-André ter Stegen (142), Pedri (138), Araujo (120) and Busquets (112).
FC Barcelona have won 62.92% of their games in his presence, a statistic that is a testament to both his influence in midfield and his consistent contribution to the team's results.
Since his debut, Barcelona have played 334 games in total, and the number 21 has participated in 79.94% of those games. The 20% of games missed were mainly due to injuries, which underlines his indispensable nature when he is fit to play. Few players have been able to combine such availability and impact over a period of six years.
His recent statistics complete this picture. Between December 3, 2024 and April 12, 2025, the 28-year-old recorded his longest unbeaten streak in the Barcelona shirt: 25 consecutive games without defeat, attesting to a high-level performance and consistency over this period.
His longest winning streak, seven consecutive wins between September 24 and October 29, 2019, dates back to his first months at the club, which highlights his promising beginnings and his ability to maintain a high level of performance.
Now tied down to Barcelona until 2029, his extension not only guarantees the presence of one of Flick's most reliable midfielders but also consolidates the role of a player whose statistics (appearances, wins, consistency) have become an essential reference of the club's modern era.
