Overview
- Barcelona published figures indicate Koundé reached 194 appearances after starting the club’s match against Getafe, making him the most-capped French player in the club’s history.
- His total overtook Éric Abidal’s previous benchmark and had already exceeded the tallies of Ousmane Dembélé, Clément Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti in club records.
- Koundé joined Barcelona from Sevilla in 2022 and has been a regular contributor across competitions since then.
- In five seasons at the club he has collected three LaLiga titles (2023, 2025, 2026), one Copa del Rey (2025) and three Supercopa trophies (2023, 2025, 2026).
- The milestone comes as Koundé has recently lost his regular right-back spot and had been started only once in the league before the Getafe game, with his contract length giving him an opportunity to add to his total if he regains consistent playing time.
