"The chance to win a title in January is a big deal... I think since I arrived at the club, every time we've won it, things have gone well for us afterward, and it gives us a boost,"
"I think the team showed strong character, because it's true that we struggled; we allowed chances to the opponent, but we didn't give up, we always strive to win the matches,"
"In the last 10 or 15 minutes, we managed to score those goals, and in the end, sometimes that's what it takes."
"We realize that there are a lot of things that need to be improved because we didn't want to see Joan García having to work too much!"
Jules Kounde is relishing the chance to win his first trophy of the 2025-26 season as Barcelona prepare to face Athletic Club in the Super Cup semi-final in Saudi Arabia. A January title is presented as a valuable mid-season boost, with past Super Cup wins coinciding with improved results after his arrival. The team showed strong character despite defensive struggles and allowing opponent chances. Persistence led to late goals in the final 10 to 15 minutes. The squad recognizes the need for defensive improvements to reduce pressure on goalkeeper Joan García.
