Jules Kounde, fourth Frenchman for appearances

Jules Kounde is continuing to show how important he is to this squad. He is clearly one of Hansi Flick's favourites and has been pretty much ever-present this season, having now amassed, including Wednesday's cup semi-final against Atlético Madrid, the admirable tally of 134 games in the FC Barcelona jersey. That's the same number as fellow Frenchman and defender Samuel Umtiti.

JIt shouldn't be long before he moves up to second, for Clément Lenglet played 160 games for the club, a number he can't quite reach this season, but should easily do before 2025 is out.
