Koundé's crazy match against Belgrade, Flick totally under the spell

Unsurprisingly, FC Barcelona made short work of Red Star Belgrade last night (5-2) including a goal from Íñigo Martinez, a double from Robert Lewandowski, an achievement from Raphinha and another by Fermin Lopez. A meeting also symbolized by the hat-trick of assists from Jules Koundé. An XXL performance if we are to believe Opta since the French international became the 5th defender to achieve a hat-trick of assists in a Champions League match and the first Frenchman to achieve this in all positions since Ousmane Dembélé in November 2016 .

Hatred of assists for Koundé!

Indispensable for both Barça and the French team, the former Bordeaux player has completely put Hansi Flick in his pocket: “This is a good example for the rest of the players. He improved his performance. He is a great professional. He is very focused. I appreciate what he did. It's very good to see the assists he gave today” declared the Barcelona coach in comments reported by Marca.

The main person concerned, for his part, claimed to be in the best moment of his career: “I'm in the best moment of my career physically speaking. In the second half we raised our level and had more control. I'm very happy on a personal level, attacking is what I'm focusing on the most at the moment because that's where I can improve the most” he expressed in comments reported by Actualité Barça before concluding about his coach: “Hansi Flick is a very close, very demanding coach, everyone is happy.“
