Jules Koundé could be proud of himself. Player of FC Seville since last summer, the Franco-Beninese defender has become a masterpiece of the Spanish club. Even better. The victory of the Andalusians against Inter Milan in the final of the Europa League this Friday allowed him to win his first major title. The former Bordelais does not regret having joined Seville.

“In one year, it’s pretty crazy! We had a wonderful season. And we fulfilled all the goals. (…) It was the perfect club for me.” He declared to the RMC Sport microphone at the end of the game.

Certainly, his debut at Seville was not easy. But Koundé held on and is finally rewarded. “I knew I had the confidence of the coach and the club. Even in the first few months, when it was difficult, I never doubted my choice. I knew everything was going to be okay because of the work.” He added.
