'He's very fast': Xavi names Barca's perfect defender ahead of Bayern clash

“Kounde is very fast, aggressive and focused. He’s a perfect defender as I said before, he’s very mature for his age, I’m very happy for him,” Xavi said in his press conference for the Bayern game.

Kounde has been in superb form for Barcelona since making a full recovery from the muscle injury he picked up while playing for France back in September.

Barcelona have kept two consecutive clean sheets in the league with Kounde dominating opposition attackers in both games.

Up next for the big defender is the test against Bayern at Camp Nou on Wednesday.
