Barcelona star has now played 100 straight games for club and country | OneFootball

A head-turning statistic, highlighting the remarkable reliability and resilience of Barcelona star Jules Koundé, has this weekend come to the fore.

As much comes after the former Sevilla man took to the pitch in Barcelona’s colours for the latest time.

Hansi Flick’s troops were of course back in action on Saturday night, welcoming Real Betis to Catalunya’s capital for a La Liga clash.

And, en route to an eventual 1-1 stalemate, Koundé both featured from the off at right-back, and saw out the full 90 minutes.

This kept alive what has been a stellar individual campaign on the part of the versatile defender, who has long established himself as one of the first names on the team sheet at Barcelona.

And as alluded to above, this weekend, Koundé’s consistency and dependability have been aptly summed up by one staggering statistic.

As confirmed by Diario Sport, the 26-year-old has now played his part in each and every one of the last 100 combined fixtures on the part of Barcelona, and France.
