A goal and two assists in 25 minutes: Barcelona melts from Dembele | Israel today

Xavi complimented the player who came off the bench and excelled in the big win over Athletic Bilbao: "He's a professional, this is the Dembele we want to see" • On Pedry the coach said: "Reminds me of Iniesta" • time?"


Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 0: 4 last night (Sunday) and may have reminded spectators around the world a bit of the club's big days.

Xavi's team has completed three consecutive wins in all competitions for the first time this season - in all of them it has scored four goals - and it seems that the January transfer window has done it good.

The one who stole the show is Osman Dembele, who came on as a substitute in the 67th minute and scored his first goal of the season after 6 minutes, before adding two touchdowns to Luke de Jong and Memphis Depay in the closing minutes.

Xavi referred after the game to the vague future of the player at the club and said: "This is not my business. In football nothing can be ruled out, it is a matter of Dembele in front of the club. I am pleased with him because he is a professional. Today he made the difference. Today we all saw Dembele. Want to see. "

The first goal of the game was scored by Arsenal's signing Pierre-Emerick Obamyang in January, who has already scored five goals in Barça's last three games.

"Marca" raised the obvious question - "Is Obmiang the best Barça acquisition in the January transfer window ever?".

Xavi also complimented Pedry, who again provided an impressive display in midfield alongside Sergio Busquets and Gabby.

"This is how he understands the game, he reminds me very much of Andres Iniesta. In terms of pure talent, Pedry is the best in the world, he is a wonderful player. I have not seen many talents like him."
