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.
