Barcelona defender, Jules Kounde has hailed Real Madrid’s summer signing Kylian Mbappe as “Crème de la Crème (the best of the best)”.
The pair faced each other in last season’s UEFA Champions League quarterfinals as PSG eliminated Barcelona 7-3 on aggregate.
Kounde and Mbappe are both international teammates with the France national team.
“A player like Kylian Mbappe can’t be stopped alone, it also requires a collective effort. Since he was [predominantly] in my area, I participated a lot in the success of the team,” Kounde said (via Madrid Universal) ahead of the Euro 2024 in Germany.
“That’s why I play soccer, for the big games, to face the best. And in that sense, Kylian is the ‘Crème de la Crème’. So it is very satisfying.
“Playing against players like this encourages you to continue.”
