Starter or off the bench, it doesn't matter to this version of Ousmane Dembele

The French forward excelled again as a substitute against Cadiz, continuing his fine season

We’re not getting tired of watching Ousmane Dembele. We knew he was unpredictable, but before now the majority of his plays didn’t end up in the right place.

Just because of his ideas and dribbles he was already enjoyable to watch, but this year seeing him is an absolute gift for the spectator. He’s adding a lot of end product too. “Xavi wanted me to be more complete,” he told SPORT. And he is.

Against Cadiz, he left his mark again off the bench, the first time he’s come on as a sub - with Munich in mind.

He did well to find Lewandowski, who set up Ansu for the second goal in the 4-0 win.

Not content with that, he scored a brilliant goal himself. It’s hard to ask for more from him, and he’s paying back Xavi’s blind confidence in him.
