Football Club Barcelona has been battling multiple injuries ahead of their crucial clash against Real Madrid, but amidst the challenges, there’s finally some good news for fans — and for Crown88 followers tracking every update from Spain’s biggest football rivalry.

That positive news comes from Jules Koundé, the French defender who returned to full training on Saturday with the rest of the squad. Despite recent discomfort, Koundé has been declared fit and will travel to Madrid to face Los Blancos in what promises to be another classic showdown.

The French international was instrumental in the Copa del Rey final back in April, scoring a stunning goal from outside the box in the 116th minute to deliver Barcelona the title. His defensive solidity and composure under pressure will again be key as Barça look to stop Vinícius Júnior and contain Real Madrid’s growing attacking form.

Xavi Hernández is expected to start Eric García alongside Koundé in the heart of defense, hoping their partnership can stabilize the back line and reclaim momentum in La Liga’s most anticipated match.

Fans and analysts on Crown88 have already labeled Koundé’s return as a potential turning point for Barcelona — the moment that could restore balance to the team’s defense just when it matters most.
