Even though Paris Saint-Germain suffered a 3-2 defeat in the first leg against FC Barcelona, Ousmane Dembélé stood out as a positive. The French player, facing his former club, scored, equalizing the game at 1-1 during the match.
However, the story isn’t that Dembélé scored; it’s what transpired after that with Barcelona supporters fuming. The 26-year-old celebrated the goal rather than remaining quiet and moving the ball to the middle of the pitch to resume play.
As a result, Diario AS (h/t Le10Sport) reports that Barcelona fans perceived Dembélé’s celebration as a provocation. Consequently, they are said to be planning to retaliate by giving him a rather hostile reception for the return match on April 16th.
Furthermore, the information reveals that Barcelona fans are still upset about his transfer last summer. It will be interesting to see if the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner can have the last laugh against his former club. If PSG wants to advance to the semifinals, they’ll need Dembélé to have a quality performance next week.
