Barcelona could have two reasons to celebrate individually when they face Aston Villa in the Champions League on Tuesday, with Frenkie de Jong and Fermin Lopez approaching significant appearance milestones for the Catalan club.
De Jong is poised to make his 300th appearance in a Barcelona shirt, while Fermin is closing in on his 150th game for the first team.
