“Judas” banner, fake tickets… The stormy reception given to Dembélé by Barcelona supporters

Scorer in the first half against his former team, Ousmane Dembélé, was entitled to a bit of a special welcome from Barcelona supporters this Tuesday ahead of the quarter-final return against Paris Saint-Germain. Catalan fans have not forgiven the French winger’s “betrayal”.

A welcome worthy of the frustration it caused at Barça. The successor of Neymar in 2017, Ousmane Dembélé left Catalonia to sign for PSG in the summer of 2023. For his return to Barcelona, ​​this Tuesday for the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League (from 21 on RMC Sport 1), the French winger was clearly targeted by local fans.

Arriving at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium with the rest of the Ile-de-France squad, “Dembouz” received a warm welcome from the supporters of the Blaugrana club. Ousmane Dembélé was recruited by PSG for fifty million euros, and left Barça after a fight with the managers.

An eventful start that the socios made him pay for this Tuesday with a very explicit banner deployed around the stadium, “We don’t forget, Judas”, which was spotted by the show’s cameras El Chiringuito. Messages that also follow the insults the Frenchman received during the arrival of the PSG bus in Barcelona on Monday.
