Barcelona right-back Jules Kounde will not be stepping up to catch Inter offside on Tuesday night in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final at the Giuseppe Meazza, but he will be present. The French defender has arrived in something a little more modest compared to the usual style associated with millionaire footballers.
Kounde went down with an injury in the first leg at Montjuic, and has been ruled out for both the Inter game and El Clasico against Real Madrid this weekend. Were Barcelona to make it to the Champions League final, then Kounde could be back in action in time for the final, and the last couple of games of the season against Villarreal and Athletic Club in La Liga.
The French defender was seen on a flight from Barcelona to Milan on a budget airline, judging by the thin seats, and he was very much in economy class. With those on the flight singing Barcelona songs in the video, Kounde couldn’t resist a grin as he acknowledged the fans.
