Dembele has proved that he can turn the fate of games with his incredible magic
Barcelona signed French winger Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund following the departure of Neymar Junior in 2017. Although the attacker failed to have much impact in his debut season amidst injury struggles, he has been able to turn things around in the Catalan capital and he has quickly become one of the most influential superstars at the Nou Camp this season.

While his disciplinary concerns and time-keeping issues dominated the headlines a few weeks ago, Dembele has been stepping up when it matters most, firing the Catalans in front of goal as well covering their blushes on a number of occasions.
The former Borussia Dortmund superstar has recorded an amazing 9 goals and 5 assists to his name in 23 appearances for Barcelona across all competitions so far this season and it is evident that the Catalan giants have high hopes for him as they approach the vital side of the campaign.
