Key Barcelona defender set to achieve personal milestone against Sevilla

Barcelona’s upcoming home match against Sevilla is set to be a memorable occasion for Jules Kounde. The defender will not only be facing his former club but will also be celebrating a significant milestone: his 100th game for FC Barcelona. 

It must be noted that Kounde joined Barcelona in 2022 with the intention of strengthening the team’s centre-back position. However, due to various circumstances, he has adapted to play as a right-back. 

Kounde’s key statistics

Since switching teams, Kounde has proven to be a valuable asset to the team. In his 99 appearances for the club, he has achieved an impressive record, securing 69 victories, drawing 12 times, and suffering 18 defeats. 

His contributions include scoring four goals and providing 11 assists, while also accumulating eight yellow cards over the course of 8,477 minutes of play.

One of the highlights of Kounde’s time at Barcelona came between August 13 and December 3, 2023, when he enjoyed an outstanding run of form, helping the team secure 12 wins and 3 draws during this period. 

Since moving to Catalonia, Kounde has consistently shown his reliability and commitment. He has started in 94 of the 99 matches he has played, completing 87 of those games. 

This level of performance reflects his readiness to take on challenges and contribute to the team’s success right from the start.
