Barcelona defender Jules Kounde believes his team played their game plan well and were able to beat Real Madrid again.

The Azulgrana thrashed Real Madrid 5-2 in the Supercopa de Espana final on Sunday, giving Barca the title in fine style.

Hans Flick’s side beat Real Madrid 4-0 in La Liga earlier this season and made light work of Los Blancos again in Saudi Arabia.

Kounde said he always thought they would go home with the trophy.

“It’s very emotional, we haven’t won a trophy in a season and it’s El Clasico against Madrid,” Kounde told Ufabet. 

“We played very well according to the สมัคร ufabet กับเรา รับโบนัสทันที plan. Like we did at the Bernabeu (Barcelona won 4-0). We were very calm and knew that we would win if we played according to the plan. 

“Very happy and proud of the team. We learned, we had the advantage of scoring a few goals first. After the red card (for Wojciech Szczesny), we discussed it and said we wouldn’t let it go.

“It (winning the title) gave us a huge boost in confidence. We won the title, we wanted it and deserved it,”

The win should provide a big morale boost, particularly after a disappointing end to 2024, and Barcelona will hope they can now get back on track in La Liga and challenge in the Champions League and Copa del Rey.
