The French winger defied his critics with a man-of-the-match display, effortlessly weaving through defenders and creating numerous chances for his teammates. Dembélé opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, showcasing his blistering pace and clinical finishing. Barcelona controlled proceedings throughout, with Pedri’s composed playmaking and Sergio Busquets’ defensive solidity providing a solid foundation. Ansu Fati doubled the lead in the 30th minute, finishing off a flowing team move. Dembélé continued to torment Levante’s defense, setting up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the third goal on the stroke of halftime. Aubameyang added another in the second half to secure a comfortable 4-0 victory. The victory extends Barcelona’s unbeaten run to seven games and consolidates their hold on second place in the league standings. Xavi Hernandez’s team is now just nine points behind leaders Real Madrid. Dembélé’s performance was particularly impressive given his recent struggles with injuries and inconsistent form. The winger has repaid the faith shown in him by Xavi, who has repeatedly praised his talent and potential. “Dembélé is a world-class player,” Xavi said after the match. “When he’s fit and confident, he’s unstoppable. Tonight, he showed everyone what he’s capable of.” Barcelona will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League quarterfinal on Thursday before returning to La Liga action against Real Sociedad next weekend. With Dembélé in this scintillating form, they will be confident of maintaining their momentum and continuing their push for silverware.
