FC Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain starred in one of the most entertaining matches of the quarterfinals of the 2023-2024 Champions League, resulting in a 2-3 victory that favored the culés.
The match was dominated at times by both clubs who did not skimp on the offensive and offered up to five goals to all the fans who were watching the football match played at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
Despite everything that happened, there is one fact that continues to draw attention 24 hours following the match ended and it has to do with French striker Osumane Dembélé and his celebration.
Until eight months ago, Dembélé defended the Barça colors since he spent six years in the culé entity, but in the duel once morest FC Barcelona itself in the Champions League the player did not hide his emotion and He ended up celebrating with euphoria the goal that made the score 1-1.
The celebration and his subsequent gestures, such as asking PSG fans to support more, did not go unnoticed by the culés fans who interpreted these as a lack of respect for their club.
More so due to the fact that when the Frenchman was playing for Barcelona and suffered with injuries and sporting issues, the club and his Barcelona teammates had the gesture of wearing shirts with his last name in a show of support.
Some even remember that when he was in full talks to renew his contract with the Blaugrana entity, the Frenchman chose to accept an offer from PSG and leave the team.
Many Barcelona fans took advantage of social networks to express their discontent with the French player and warn that a good reception does not await him when he returns.
