Ousmane Dembele will be a huge threat to opposing defences
Signed as the replacement for Neymar Jr who left Barcelona for Paris Saint Germain during the summer of 2017, French wunderkind Ousmane Dembele failed to make a serious statement following his move to the Catalan capital due to injury crisis last season.

However, the attacker has made up for his initial setback this season, bagging an amazing 11 goals and 5 assists in 25 appearances for the Blaugrana across all competitions and the Catalans will be counting on him to produce even more magic as they continue to push for European conquest.
With his electrifying pace and fantastic dribbling skills, Dembele will be a huge problem for opposing defences in the UEFA Champions League. Adding to that to his immense creativity and incredible finishing skills, the Frenchman will be really unstoppable in the competition.
