Ousmane Dembele has just given Barcelona fans fuel for nightmares. The former Blaugrana and current PSG man took center stage in the quarter-final tie as two crucial goals over both legs gave his side the win. Despite being a Blaugrana himself for six years, the Frenchman didn’t let things from the past come in the way of his gameplay.

Following in the same pattern as he did in the first leg, Dembele looked the most threatening player on the pitch. With his quick feet and electric pace, the PSG No.10 had the entire Barcelona backline on strings. His persistent efforts saw result in the 40th minute, when a squared pass from Bradley Barcola fell invitingly at his feet.

The forward unleashed a bullet of a strike from a difficult angle, even though it was into an unguarded net. His subsequent celebration and no regard for the home crowd gave rival fans all they need to fuel trolls and memes in the coming days.

Despite being subbed off in the 88th minute, cameras zoomed in on Dembele ‘wickedly’ smiling after the full-time whistle. With his two goals being the difference between the two sides, they couldn’t have come at a better time.

Fans react to Ousmane Dembele’s brilliant display against former club Barcelona

FC Barcelona supporters were in for a long night after the match official chose to send off Ronald Araujo for his foul on Bradley Barcola. A fan commented that Dembele gifted rival fans one of the most fruitful ‘hate watching’ experiences of all time. Another said that he had sworn to make Barcelona ‘bleed’ ahead of the tie.

Others said that it was only fair for the way the Barcà crowd treated him ahead of the game. Even rival fans had praise for the former Barcà man, for deflecting all the hate and teaching the hosts a ‘lesson’.

Some said that the Frenchman was fueled by pure hatred for his former club. Others joked that Dembele played so well against Barcelona because they still owe him wages.

A quick look at all the tweets reveal that rival fans truly adore Dembele after yesterday’s performance. Others pointed out how just like Philippe Coutinho, Dembele too came back to knock them out of the UCL. After a night that could potentially see PSG lift their first-ever Champions League title, Dembele couldn’t care less about the hate from Barcelona fans.
