Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez was full of praise for Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele, following his stunning display against Real Sociedad.

Dembele scored Barca’s only goal of the game, and was in brilliant form against Sociedad, as he kept destabilising their defence.

For Xavi, Dembele is in fine form and full of confidence.

“I am delighted for him because he is a good guy and a good professional,” Xavi said. “He has turned things around and that is not easy at Barca.

“He’s the one full of confidence and quality. We try to guide him. For me, he is one of the best in the world in his position.

“He has so much quality, but from there you have to believe in yourself. At Barca, it’s important to have that mentality to believe that you can influence games.”
