Ousmane Dembele joined Barcelona in 2017 for €105 million, but was plagued by injuries and was sidelined for six months after a serious injury required surgery and was sidelined for six months when Barcelona players wore their shirts to show their support when they faced Getafe.
As a result, he celebrated when he scored in the first leg last week, angering many Barcelona fans. Before the game, some fans used cards to vent their dissatisfaction, including sticking a pig's nose on his photo and writing "Dembele is ungrateful".
Barcelona opened the scoring after 12 minutes from Raphinha, but after centre-back Ronald Araujo was sent off with a red card, Paris counter-attacked and Ousmane Dembele made it 1-1 on 40 minutes.
With one man missing, Barcelona conceded another goal on 54 minutes and was overtaken by Vitinha from distance, before Ousmane Dembele was fouled by Joao Cancelo in the opposition box to win a penalty for Kylian Mbappe. The latter scored on a counter-attack before the end of the game to help Paris beat Barcelona 4-1 and advance with an aggregate score of 6-4.
Barcelona coach Xavi was unhappy with the red card after the game, believing that it would destroy the game, and what stirred the nerves of fans was that Ousmane Dembele was selected as the best player of the match. FC Barcelona Noticias, who specializes in reporting Barcelona team news, called Ousmane Dembele the "new Figo", meaning that he can match the team's all-time famous traitor, and said in the headline that he has become Barcelona's number one enemy.
In his post-match interview, Ousmane Dembele praised Barcelona as a great team and said he loved them, but when asked about the provocation of the opposing fans, he only responded flatly: "I had a good evening, and the cheers of the Barcelona fans did not affect me. I gave everything I had and scored a goal and a penalty and I'm happy with my performance. ”
Interestingly, when Mbappe scored the final goal, the live camera captured the replaced Ousmane Dembele, sitting on the bench and smiling, being teased that "he really loves Barcelona", and the France international praised the team's perseverance: "Although we lost 2-3 in the first leg, everyone believed that we could win, we did not surrender." Although we conceded a goal in this game, the team did not give up and we always believed that we could win. ”
Mbappe, who was ridiculed as "invisible" on the field, scored twice this game to help the team win and advance, which can be described as a bird's breath. Speaking after the game, he said that his dream was to win the Champions League with PSG, "I've been proud of it since my first day at PSG, and it's wonderful to be a Parisian to have an evening like this. We are one step away from the final, so the fans need to stay calm. ”
Although Mbappe has often been rotated early in the league before, Paris boss Luis Enrique also praised his performance: "He was the undisputed leader of the team today, look at the pressure on the team, when he performs like that, the team gets better. ”
On the same day, Borussia Dortmund also beat Atletico Madrid to advance, and Paris Saint-Germain will compete with the "Bees" in the semi-finals to reach the Champions League final.
