Jules Koundé scores a hat-trick of assists in Barça's victory against Red Star in the Champions League. A historic performance for the French defender.
FC Barcelona continues to impress in the Champions League with a remarkable victory against Red Star Belgrade (2-5). Among the heroes of the evening, Jules Koundé stood out by making three assists, a rare performance for a defender.
The French defender, right back for the Blaugranas, offered decisive goals to Lewandowski, Raphinha and Fermín López, becoming the fifth defender in history to accomplish this feat in C1.
Koundé, an exceptional passing defender
Koundé makes history by joining a restricted circle of defenders having achieved a hat-trick of assists in the Champions League, a feat not seen since Ousmane Dembélé in 2016 for a French player. Building on this performance, Barça consolidates its place in the top 8 of the competition, while Koundé is preparing to join the Blues to face Israel and Italy in the coming days.
