At 04:00 Beijing time on February 25, the second leg of the Europa League knockout play-off, De Jong blasted a world wave, Aubameyang scored consecutive goals, Alba and Pique scored 1 goal each, Traore sent 2 assists, Barca won 4-2 away to Napoli, and the two-legged aggregate score was 5-3 to advance to the round of 16.
In the 13th minute of the opening, De Jong completed the unsolvable world wave at the top of the arc, which can be described as a stone breaking. There are not too many adjustments, the ferry range is not large, even the "foot shadow" can not be caught, and such a small swing leg amplitude can actually play a fast and tricky arc ball, Napoli Meret can only look at the ball and sigh, failed to make any save action.
Of course, this goal also gave the coach Harvey a thumbs up. Some fans joke that it is difficult to play such a high-quality world wave in the live situation.
De Jong, 24, was bought from Ajax by Barca for 86 million euros, but he is now worth only 70 million euros on the German transfer market, plunging 20 million euros. Previously, De Jong was also caught up in the rumor of being sold, and now he has won Harvey's trust with practical actions.
This world wave against Napoli was De Jong's first goal in this season's cup. Four days ago, he scored a goal against Valencia in La Liga. Since entering 2022, De Jong has scored 3 goals, compared with 1 before the New Year.
The Europa League round of 16 has been released, which is the first time that Barca have reached the round of 16 of the Europa League after the restructuring. It is understood that Barca are now the biggest favourites to win the Europa League, with odds of only 1 to 4.5. Behind Barca are Sevilla, who have won the Europa League six times.
