There are matches like this, where all the planets seem perfectly aligned. This is what Ousmane Dembélé says in the last episode of The Bridge (Le Pont), the talk show co-hosted by Aurélien Tchouameni, which will be released this Friday evening at 7:00 p.m. on YouTube. The French international looks back on one of his best performances in the colors of Barça, namely a quarter-final of the Copa del Rey against Real Sociedad in January 2023, won by the Catalans thanks to his goal (1 -0). His way of recounting the event and his feelings during the meeting, with a laugh-out-loud seriousness, makes the sequence special.
“I remember a match when I was at Barcelona, it was against Real Sociedad in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey. You remember (he addresses Jules Koundé), you give me the same pass, and then I’ll score. Me, in that match, I felt untouchable, unplayablehe explains, provoking laughter from Koundé and Tchouameni. On the control, I spent all the time, wing changes, left foot, right foot, hmmm, I said to myself “it smells good tonight”… You feel it from the first action. After 25 minutes, I say to the full-back: “go ahead and change sides.”»
