Barcelona defender Jules Kounde is excited by the prospect of meeting Spain in the semi-finals of Euro 2024.
La Roja reached the quarter-finals with a 2-1 extra-time win over hosts Germany as France beat Portugal on penalties.
A clash between two European superpowers will decide one of the finalists on July 14 and Kounde will play a key role for France.
Kounde has been ever-present for France, continuing in his Barcelona role at the back of his country, and is in line for a huge challenge against Spain.
He will come face to face Nico Williamswho could be his club partner next season, and it is ready for what the Athletic Club the winger will throw to him.
“I love important matches, they help me to improve. I'm always excited to play against this type of players, I try to meet the challenge every time”, as quotes from The sports world.
France are expected to keep a largely unchanged starting line-up against Spain with Kounde continuing as part of the same 2022 World Cup final four.
