Michael Barrios played in every FC Dallas match in 2017. He played in every FC Dallas match in 2018. Even in 2016, he played 32 league matches. Along the way, he ended up playing in 96 consecutive MLS matches, a streak bested only by Chris Klein's 141 straight games with the Kansas City Wizards, Real Salt Lake and the LA Galaxy between 2005-09.
