Barcelona defender Jules Kounde says he’s relishing the prospect of taking on Vinicius Junior on Sunday in El Clasico.
The Catalans head to the Santiago Bernabeu aiming to cut the gap on the league leaders to just five points.
Xavi has tended to deploy Ronald Araujo against Vinicius Junior in recent games, but Kounde says he’s looking forward to facing the Brazilian.
“I think he is without a doubt one of the best wingers in the world, so I face him with great desire. I think it will also be a collective issue because players like Kylian, Vinicius or others are difficult,” he told DAZN.
