How Ousmane Dembélé can be a key player for Barcelona in the 2020/21 season:

A thread

After an injury-hit season , Dembélé has a last chance to prove his worth. In this thread , I will analyse how he can be important for the Catalans in the 20/21 season by using his 18/19 stats.

Firstly , Dembélé is a pacey winger. Barcelona don't have any such player who can exploit the high lines like him. The cules need someone who can finish counter attacks. Dembélé is that player.

Barcelona lack width in their attack. They played with MSG but it is too central and doesn't provide any threat on the wide areas. Dembélé is good at providing width , isolating full-backs , taking them on and crossing which will be essential.

Dembélé completed 4.81 dribbles per 90 with a success rate of 67.4%. He also delivered 0.65 accurate crosses and 2.54 passes into the 18 yard-box.

Another aspect of his game is his creativity and ability to surprise opponents. He made 2.49 key passes , 4.66 shot creating actions and 0.70 goal creating actions per 90 that season.

In conclusion , Dembélé's qualities like dribbling , speed , crossing and providing width will be very useful for Barcelona. Messi's departure is almost certain , which makes Dembélé the most unpredictable player at the club.
