From the source
Frenkie de Jong and Marc Bernal offer Hansi Flick two different options and profiles in midfield ahead of Barcelona’s meeting with Atletico Madrid, but the duo’s respective records against Diego Simeone’s side reveal an interesting contrast.
It is to be noted that first-choice midfielder Rodri will be unavailable for this clash due to a thigh injury he picked up against Aston Villa in the Champions League.
As a result, Flick will have to choose from two fantastic options he has at his disposal. On that note, while De Jong has considerably more experience against the Madrid club, Bernal has made a greater individual impact in front of goal despite playing just twice against them.
