Barcelona defender, Jules Kounde has branded Real Madrid’s summer signing Kylian Mbappe as “Crème de la Crème (the best of the best).”

Kounde and Mbappe are both international teammates with the France national team.

The duo faced each other in last season’s UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, as PSG eliminated Barcelona 7-3 on aggregate.

“A player like Kylian Mbappe can’t be stopped alone, it also requires a collective effort. Since he was [predominantly] in my area, I participated a lot in the success of the team,” Kounde said (via Madrid Universal).

“That’s why I play soccer, for the big games, to face the best. And in that sense, Kylian is the ‘Crème de la Crème’. So it is very satisfying.

“Playing against players like this encourages you to continue.”

Kounde and Mbappe will hope to lead France to victory when the Euro 2024 starts this week in Germany.
