His departure last summer was obviously not digested. When the Paris Saint-Germain bus arrived in Barcelona this Monday, Ousmane Dembélé was insulted by Catalan supporters. The French international striker left the Blaugrana during the last summer transfer window to join PSG.
In images broadcast by the Spanish press, the latter, hooded on his head, is strongly questioned by many Catalan fans. The Frenchman, his eyes glued to his phone, did not react to these invectives. During the quarter-final first leg at the Parc des Princes last Tuesday, he scored a sublime goal, his second of the season (2-3 defeat for the Parisians).
The other members of the French squad received a much less virulent welcome. Kylian Mbappé, expected next summer at Real Madrid, was even acclaimed by Barcelona fans.
Luis Enrique, former coach of the Blaugranas (2014-2017) but also spent with the club as a player (1996-2004), also received a warm welcome. He was on the Barça bench the last time the club won the Champions League (2015).
The quarter-final second leg of the Champions League between FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain will take place this Tuesday (9 p.m.) at the Montjuïc Olympic stadium. The Camp Nou is currently under construction, and no matches can therefore be played there.
