Ousmane Dembelé has made more headlines since he joined Barcelona due to his constant discipline problems. Nevertheless, quite an impressive goal for Los Blaugranas may give fans and experts a hint on why Los Blaugranas may want to stick with him despite all the criticism he's been subject to.
The French international scored a massive goal inside the first ten minutes of the game between the Spanish champions and the English side. A corner kick by Tottenham ended with the ball kissing the back of their own net, mainly due to Dembele's speed and dribbling antics.

His goalscoring tally of this season has eclipsed his numbers from last year. And to think some fans want to get rid of him!

We don't know how far he will get as part of the Blaugrana side, but performances such as this one make us wonder about his chances of a long and prosperous career at Camp Nou.
