Jules Kounde

Jules Kounde, the French defender for Barcelona, is set to make history this Saturday by playing his 70th match in the 2024 calendar year. Kounde is expected to start in the highly anticipated clash against Atletico Madrid, marking a significant milestone in his career.

Previously, the record for the most matches played by a player in European club football was held by Chelsea, with 69 games during the 2012/13 season. On Saturday, Kounde will surpass this achievement, cementing his place in football history.

In total, Kounde has clocked an astonishing 5,872 minutes on the pitch this year, more than any other footballer worldwide. His relentless performances highlight his durability and importance to both Barcelona and the French national team.

Looking ahead, 2025 promises an even heavier schedule for players, with the addition of the revamped FIFA Club World Cup to an already packed football calendar. Kounde’s endurance record may soon be put to the ultimate test.
