The war of roses between Barcelona and ex-BVB star Ousmane Dembélé (24) is escalating.
The Frenchman missed the game against Alavés (1-0) for the second time in a row after being given an ultimatum.
Background: Coach Xavi Hernández (41) is said to have said that Dembélé will not play again if he does not immediately extend his expiring contract.
Officially, the striker signed off with a stomach condition.
Several Barça legends have already fired sharp shots at the Frenchman!
Hristo Stoichkov (55) said: “Barcelona never understood Dembele. As a foreigner, I got involved to understand how the club works. (…) If you don’t want to be with Barcelona, at least don’t soil the coat of arms.”
Dembélé switched from BVB to Barça in 2017 for 140 million euros
