Koundé Makes European History as Barça Beat Frankfurt with Two Headers
9 December 2025
Koundé's historic two-header night for Barça in the Champions League
French defender Jules Koundé delivered a historic performance for Barcelona against Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday night in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Koundé headed twice, at 30 and 53 minutes, turning a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead for Barça.
According to Opta, he became the first Barcelona player to score two headed goals in a single Champions League match.
Barcelona pressed to seal the win and stay on course for the knockout rounds.
If the result holds, Barça would reach 10 points and edge closer to the knockout stage.
Punchline 1: If headers paid rent, Koundé would own the stadium by now.
Punchline 2: Barça's defense just discovered the aerodynamics of football—balls finding the net from every angle.
