The return of Sergi Roberto and the reunion of the renewed Ousmane Dembélé with the fans at FC Barcelona
The Mosquito returns to the Barça home stadium after an excellent outing in the American tour, while Sergi Roberto, on the other hand, will return more than nine months later
In addition to the highs and lows in this summer market, two rather familiar players in Barça look set to 'debut' again this Gamper. They are the renewed Sergi Roberto and Ousmane Dembélé. The latter has re-signed for the club with a new contract, as his old one had already expired.
A lot has changed for Dembélé since last May 22, when he played for just over half an hour in the last league match of FC Barcelona, the 0-2 defeat against Villarreal. The Frenchman's relationship with the fans was very different from the one he will enjoy this Sunday, after both his renewal and, above all, his sparkling performance in the preseason tour.
Dembélé wants to prove and justify all the trust and belief in him, but the Frenchman won't stop there. This Sunday afternoon he will come face to face again with the Barça fans, but hopefully without any incident. The player is on the right record after his great performances on the American tour, especially the double against Juventus, whom the Mosquito stung the most.
The player from Reus played his last game at FC Barcelona in the clásico last October and, the following day, in Vallecas, he was seriously injured. He has already had minutes in this preseason, and Xavi is counting on his skill and versatility. The technician was always in favour of his renewal, which was finally taken care of last April 25.
