After his first goal, Dembele performed Stephen Curry’s famous ‘Night Night’ celebration, much to the excitement of the American fans. Reacting to Dembele’s celebration on Twitter, the NBA star replied, “A movement!!”

After the match, Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez hailed Dembele and called him a ‘special player’. He said, “Today he showed what he can do. Ousmane is a special player, there are not many like him, he must make the difference and be more consistent.”

“I don’t know how Dembele was before my arrival in November but since I arrived I’ve seen him very happy and he always makes the difference, so I insisted so hard about him staying”, he further added.
