“Should cost 100 million in this market”, “He’s now playing halal football” – Barcelona fans thrilled with ‘extremely impressive’ performance from ‘mean’ player during 3-0 win over Sevilla

Barcelona fans were left in awe of new signing Jules Kounde after the defender registered two assists against his former club Sevilla in La Liga.

The Catalan club secured a 3-0 away win over Julen Lopetegui's men on matchday four in La Liga. Raphinha opened the scoring for the visitors after Robert Lewandowski's chipped effort was saved at the goal line.

However, the Polish striker soon found the back of the net, as Kounde provided Barca's new No.9 with a sublime pass. Lewandowski, being the master finisher that he is, controlled the pass with a deft touch and converted in style to double his team's lead.

Eric Garcia scored Barcelona's third as Kounde headed the ball from Ousmane Dembele onto the defender's path. The 23-year-old joined Barca in the summer for a fee of £51 million. However, many fans pointed out that he should be worth double that price tag given his performances for Barca so far.

Others noted that football can sometimes be a mean game as Kounde hurt his former team upon his return.

Check out the best reactions from Twitter as fans opine on Jules Kounde:

With the win, Xavi Hernandez's men now have ten points from their first four La Liga games of the season and are currently second in the table. Real Madrid are the current league leaders as Carlo Ancelotti's men have won each of their first four games so far, racking up 12 points in the process.

Marcos Alonso made a move from Chelsea to Barcelona during the summer transfer window's deadline day with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang moving in the opposite direction.

The player is now officially registered as a Barca player and has made his first public statement since joining the club. Here's what the left-back had to say (via Barca Universal):

"Now I am here at last. I’m very happy and looking forward to starting. The only team that was ever in my head was Barça. This is the next stage of my career and I can’t wait.

He added:

It is very special to play for the team where my father was such a success. That’s another important reason to be here. I remember when he brought me to see games at Camp Nou, so to be here now is incredible."
