The left-back registered 3 key passes which is the best record on the team, tied with Pedri.
Junior Firpo got to play full 90 minutes against Eibar as Jordi Alba was suspended for the match. The left-back put in a delightful performance, being one of the best players on the team, and possibly playing his best match since joining Barcelona.

One of the reasons why Firpo looked good might have to do with the fact that he played as a wing-back rather than a left-back. Back at Real Betis, he was deployed as a wing-back in a formation with three centre-backs, just like Barca played vs Eibar.
Since joining the Catalans, the 24-year-old has registered one goal and three assists in 31 matches.
