Ousmane Dembélé joined FC Barcelona in the 2017 summer transfer window. He played six seasons with the Blaugrana, he made 185 appearances, scoring 40 goals and providing 43 assists.
He also added three Spanish league titles (2018, 2019 and 2023), two Spanish Cups (2018 and 2021) and two Spanish Supercups (2018 and 2023) to his list of honours.
In February 2023, the CIES football observatory unveiled the ranking of the best “strikers”. Ousmane Dembélé was recognised as the best forward at ‘taking on’ in the world, ahead of players including Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid), Kévin De Bruyne (Manchester City) and Rafael Leão (AC Milan). A ranking based on the frequency of successful dribbles and crosses, playing time and the level of the matches played.
