In addition to praising Aubameyang, Xavi was also fascinated by Ousmane Dembele’s performance in the match against Osasuna. Moreover, Dembele scored an assist during Aubameyang’s goal.
In fact, Dembele had become an enemy of Barcelona fans because of his inconsistent appearance. In addition, Blaugrana fans also hate him because of the stalled contract negotiations.
