Barcelona centre-back Jules Kounde attended the Barcelona Open along with other teammates and told the press that Barcelona's objective is to win the treble and that they still have work ahead of them to become La Liga champions.

Barcelona secured three key points in their fight with Real Madrid for the La Liga title after pulling off an incredible second-half comeback against Celta, cancelling out Borja Iglesias' hat trick they conceded at home. 

Some of the players took advantage of their day off to attend the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, a professional men's tennis tournament that was founded in 1953. Jules Kounde was one of those who attended the event and was asked by the media about the possibility of winning La Liga. 

"Winning La Liga? We hope so. There is still work to be done," said the French defender, who was accompanied by Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo, who also gave terse answers when asked about winning the treble this season. 

That's our goal,” “As long as we're alive, yes,” “The goal is to achieve it,” the three Barcelona players replied respectively before enjoying a morning of tennis.
