Kounde hit the gym at 4am after Barca’s win over Cadiz

Paris Saint-Germain v FC Barcelona: Quarter-final First Leg - UEFA Champions League 2023/24

The defender put in some extra hours

Xavi handed Jules Kounde a bit of a breather on Saturday night against Cadiz, with the defender only playing the last 28 minutes in the 1-0 win for Barcelona.

Yet the France international took to the gym after returning to Barcelona with the squad. He posted an update on Instagram showing how he was working out in the early hours.

Kounde has had a bit of a mixed season but there’s no doubt he’s hit form at the right time as we approach the business end of the campaign. The defender has played a key role in Barca’s recent improved defensive form and was superb against PSG last week.

Xavi was full of praise for Kounde ahead of the trip to Cadiz. He described the Frenchman was “one of the best defenders in the world right now.”

Barcelona will be hoping Kounde can continue to replicate that kind of form again on Tuesday night when they face Mbappe and Co. at Montjuic with a place in the Champions League semi-finals up for grabs.
