Jules Kounde explained why he likes Barcelona’s 1-0 win over Benfica more than the 5-4 victory achieved in the group phase back in January.
A single goal from Raphinha saw Hansi Flick’s side emerge victorious at the Estadio da Luz on Wednesday night, giving them the edge in the Champions League last 16 tie.
The game may not have been as dramatic as the 5-4 win back in January, but Kounde says he’d rather win by a single goal.
“I like a 0-1 more than a 4-5 because as a defender I always want a clean sheet,” he told reporters.
