De Jong and Depay become first Barca players eliminated from Euros

The 2020 Euro journey for Barcelona players Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay, unfortunately, ends at the round of 16 stage. The Netherlands were beaten 2-0 by Czechia.

On the individual level, De Jong and Depay looked decent but they couldn't do much to help the Netherlands. The Dutch team looked solid initially but things quickly went downhill after Matthijs de Ligt saw the red card.

Both Memphis and Frenkie made four appearances at the tournament, with the forward adding two goals and two assists to his name.
