Barcelona fans claim they cannot comprehend the physical fitness and endurance of three of their players. These three stars have played so much in the last 40 days that fatigue seems alien to them.

Barcelona has endured a grueling schedule, with Yamal, Pedri, and De Jong each featuring in 13 matches. After a break in La Liga between matchdays 22 and 23 due to international fixtures, Barcelona faced an incredible marathon.

Barcelona played 13 matches during this period, some of which were highly decisive. Hansi Flick tried to rotate the squad, but three players seemed irreplaceable: Yamal, Pedri, and De Jong. These three featured in every single match.

Pedri’s stats are particularly unbelievable. Out of these 13 matches, he was only benched once—in the Champions League return leg against Borussia Dortmund. In all other matches, whether in La Liga, Copa del Rey, or the Champions League, he was a constant starter. Lamine Yamal ranks second, having started 11 times. Frenkie de Jong was substituted four times but started nine matches.

These three stars will once again be the backbone of Hansi Flick’s team in the upcoming El Clasico. They will step onto the pitch for the 14th time in just over 40 days. Are Yamal, Pedri, and De Jong truly unstoppable, or will fatigue finally catch up with them in this decisive El Clasico?
