All the controversy related to the renewal of Ousmane Dembélé has radically ended when Xavi has decided to summon him for the match against Atlético de Madrid.
It really is the most sensible decision, because having a footballer like the Frenchman in your squad and not using him cannot bring anything good.
It is very likely that he will play a secondary role in the squad, since he cannot be given the keys and the baton of the team when the player is determined to leave Barcelona this summer, but use him as a lever in the second half when the game is stuck. It seems more than convenient for both parties.
The lack of training for the new signings, together with Ansu Fati’s injury, makes it very possible that Dembélé will start today in what is one of the most important games of the season.
Barça and Atleti face each other in a power-to-power clash between two teams that have a great squad, but have not yet been able to get the most out of it. Ousmane Dembélé could be key in a match like this and even more so knowing the defensive weakness of the rojiblancos.
Nor will the Frenchman be able to complain if, upon hearing his name over the loudspeaker, he gets a loud whistle from the Camp Nou. The fans are very angry with him, and things would have to change a lot for a possible reconciliation to be seen.
In the first place, Ousmane should apologize to the stands and renew with the team, two circumstances that, after having seen his attitude in the last five years, seem more than complicated.
Perhaps a great match against Simeone’s team will serve the Blaugrana fans to lower their smoke and forget about this whole issue.
