Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde was happy with Frenkie de Jong's performance after victory over Eibar.

De Jong played a key part in the victory and was applauded off by the home fans when he was substituted.

"He's having a great start to the season," Valverde said about the midfielder.

"We've seen that he gives us a lot for the strength that he has, as much in attack as in defence.

"This is why the crowd recognised him."
