Jules Kounde was back at Sevilla on Saturday for the first time since his summer move and was stationed once again at right-back. Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia continued in central defense, with Alejandro Balde at left-back.
New boys Hector Bellerin and Marcos Alonso didn’t make the squad but will surely be involved nex time out, although the same probably can’t be said of Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba who may have to start getting used to life on the bench.
Kounde will have enjoyed his return too. He picked up his first assist for Barcelona after coming infield and plonking the ball onto Lewandowski’s chest for the second goal of the night.
