Jules Koundé is on fire. He is a quality defender, but almost superb in attack. The central defender opened the scoring for Sevilla against Barca with a great move which saw him beat Busquets and Umtiti before firing past Ter Stegen.

Sevilla opened the scoring in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg against Barcelona with a superb goal. It was not scored by En-Nesyri, Papu Gómez or Suso: it was Jules Kounde.

He has been going forward quite a bit this season and he is almost like a midfielder for Julen Lopetegui. He did even better than expected on Wednesday.

After 25 minutes, the French central defender approached the edge of the Barcelona box. He took advantage of a loose ball to go past Sergio Busquets and that was the start of it.

After the first touch, he went past Umtiti and then he went into the area and shot to beat Marc-Andre ter Stegen just as Mingueza was about to come around on the cover.

Kounde celebrated his goal in style and the Frenchman is in fine form. It is no surprise Kounde is wanted by many European clubs.
