Jules Kounde is on the right track to break the record held by his compatriots as the French player with the most appearances, revealed by the Barcelona X account.

In what appears to be a stellar season for Kounde and Barcelona, the Frenchman has become a crucial part of Hansi Flick’s system and has played in all the matches the Catalan club has played.

The Frenchman’s level of fitness is on another level, and the reason for this can be attributed to the player’s extra training sessions.

Eric Abidal sits in first position, having featured in 193 appearances in six seasons, followed by Dembele’s 185 appearances in five seasons, Lenglet’s 160 appearances in four active years, and Umtiti’s 134 appearances in seven seasons.

With his consistency and continued importance in the Hansi Flick system, the Frenchman would be looking to become the French player with the most appearances for the Catalans in no time.

Following his excellent form and consistency, the Frenchman has scored 3 goals and provided 7 assists in 37 appearances in all competitions in the 2024/2025 season.
