La Liga: Jules Kounde ‘very happy’ after making Barcelona debut in Valladolid win

Jules Kounde said he was “very happy” after making his debut for Barcelona in their 4-0 win against Valladolid on Sunday.

The defender had an anxious wait ahead of kick-off, with his new club only registering him over the weekend after his £42 million transfer from Sevilla.
