Things were looking so good for Dembele and Barcelona, but fate had something else in store.

He slipped accidentally in the second half, injuring himself in the process. Valverde immediately took him off for Malcolm as a precautionary step, bringing an end to Dembele's night.

The Frenchman has been brilliant in recent weeks, and throughout the season as well. He has recorded eight goals and three assists in 12 league starts and was enjoying his best time at the club so far.

The Champions League will come knocking in a couple of weeks, and Dembele must have eyed making an impact on that stage as well.

It looked as though Dembele injured his knee, but the extent is unknown at this juncture. Coutinho will be ready to fill in if needed, but Dembele could play every match like he did today, there's no competition.
