Jules Koundé once again showed that there is no one better in his position. The full-back 'dried up' Vinicius and was a 'wall' on his wing
Few players have such a clear advantage over their rivals in the right back position as Jules Koundé. Today, there is no one better than the Frenchman in this area of the field, and the Clásico at the Santiago Bernabéu has served as evidence of this argument.
From less to much more, the Frenchman stopped Vinicius Jr. how and when he wanted. The Brazilian's 'breakaways' were simple 'oases', since in each dribble the shadow of the Barça '23' appeared on the horizon. In fact, he also took on the task of helping in the coverage to stop Mbappé and being the first to bring the ball up if necessary, an impressive fact considering that the defender has played the 90 minutes in 13 of Barça's 14 games this season.
Koundé, the complete full-back
Koundé showed against the Merengue team that he is a complete full-back. In defence, the player won more than half of his duels and only committed two fouls, while in attack he completed 83% of his passes and was the player with the most interventions on the team (74). A new display from the undisputed best right-back in the world.
