Victorious on the pitch of Red Star Belgrade this Wednesday evening, FC Barcelona can thank Jules Koundé. the French international offered three great assists.
And one and two and three assists. The Habs Jules Koundé has been shining for several months at his right-back position. Left to rest during the last day of La Liga against Espanyol, the former Bordeaux player was well aligned for Barça’s hot trip to Belgrade this Wednesday evening.
Solid behind and flamboyant on his side in combinations with Lamine Yamal in the right lane, Koundé was decisive in the second period. The Blaugrana led 2-1 and seemed to be heading quietly towards success, their right side continued to climb to offer caviar to his attackers. The first for Lewandowski (53rd), the second from a beautiful cross at ground level for Raphinha and his last for the incoming Firmin Lopez.
A rare performance from the Barça full-back, Jules Koundé is the 5th defender in history to achieve a hat-trick of assists in the Champions League, the first Frenchman to achieve this feat in all positions since Dembélé in 2016.
