The Catalans have now won consecutive league games so far, scoring four times in both as Xavi's team looks much improved with the new signings so far.

One of those new signings Jules Kounde made his debut for the club after finally being registered since joining from Sevilla nearly a month ago.

Kounde talking tough

Kounde made his Barcelona debut as a right full-back for the first hour until Sergi Roberto came on for Araujo in the 61st minute, allowing the Frenchman to move to his preferred central defensive position.

"My main position is centre back, but if the coach wants me to play on the right, then I will do my best to help the team," Kounde said after the game.

The 24-year-old expressed his delight in his first post-game interview as a Barcelona player, "Well I'm very happy for the win 4-0, clean sheet, that's important for the team

I enjoyed it, it was a good debut, I enjoyed it, it felt good."

"I haven't played a lot, but I feel very good. I still need a while to get to my best level," Kounde said in acknowledgement of his match fitness level.
