Wojciech Szczęsny makes confession about Jules Kounde’s Copa del Rey winner for Barcelona

Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczu0119sny has confessed he really did not expect Jules Kounde to score the winner against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey.

Kounde pounced on a sloppy pass in the 116th minute and then rifled a low shot past Thibaut Courtois to make it 3-2 to Barca and secure the trophy.

Szczu0119sny was asked about the match-winning moment and explained he was not expecting the net to bulge when he saw his team-mate shape up to shoot.

“To be honest, when Koundé was preparing to shoot, I was already preparing to organize the defense because I didn’t expect the ball to go in.
