On the Camp Nou side, we have not yet forgiven Ousmane Dembélé for his departure for PSG.
Next Wednesday, for the round of 16 of the Champions League, Barça challenges PSG at the Parc des Princes. This match will see Ousmane Dembélé, the striker of the French champions, return to the club where he played between 2017 and 2023.
Dembélé was a full starter at Barcelona. His departure was not necessarily planned and it is an understatement to say that the breakup did not take place in the best circumstances. The former Rennes man had forced his departure and this was not to the liking of the Blaugrana management, nor of the supporters.
Xavi is angry with Dembélé
Even coach Xavi, who looked after him for a long time, felt betrayed. The Catalan technician said of Dembélé that he was “the best in the world in this field”. There is no doubt that having seen his protégé slip away without warning must have greatly disappointed him.
In fact, and if we are to believe information fromEl Mundo Deportivo, the people of Barcelona are very motivated before this European confrontation. They want to show their former French player that he is wrong to turn his back on them. This of course requires qualifying for the C1 semi-finals at the expense of Luis Enrique's squad.
