Before the start of the current season, he moved to Paris Saint-Germain.

In Paris, PSG lost 2-3, and Dembele scored one of the goals for the French team. Despite six years spent in Barcelona, the footballer spontaneously celebrated a goal scored against his former team, which enraged the fans of the “Pride of Catalonia”. They decided to demonstrate their anger during the rematch.
Social media circulated information about the “welcome” that Barcelona fans decided to prepare for Dembele. Among other things, it made a big splash. a short recording showing a group of fans burning a T-shirt with the Frenchman’s name on it, which arouses the admiration of witnesses of the event.
It doesn’t end there. According to Spanish journalist Jose Delgado Gomez, fans of the “Pride of Catalonia” have prepared banknotes with Dembele’s image, which they plan to throw at him during the match.
One of the fans going to the stadium took with him a pig mascot with a photo of Dembele stuck on it. It can be assumed that this is a reference to the famous situation from 2000.
