The Spanish newspaper "Sport" confirmed that French defender Koundé is experiencing one of his best periods with FC Barcelona after an unstable start to the season, as he has recently excelled and scored an important goal against Real Sociedad.

The newspaper explained that the match against Paris Saint-Germain holds a special significance for Koundé, as it will mark his 150th appearance for Barcelona, bringing him closer to entering the list of the most-capped French players in the history of the Catalan club, which is topped by Éric Abidal with 193 matches.

The newspaper mentioned that Koundé, who began his career at Bordeaux before moving to Sevilla and then to Barcelona in 2022, has so far played 149 official matches with the team, during which he scored 8 goals and provided 19 assists, making him the fifth-highest French scorer in the club's history despite being a defender.

The French defender has a contract that extends until 2030 with Barcelona, giving him a great opportunity to surpass the records of both Lenglet with 160 matches and Ousmane Dembélé with 185 matches, and to approach Abidal's record.
