He almost left the club through the back door, now Xavi says he is at Neymar's level.
It is known that football takes a thousand turns, one day you are very good and the next day you are no longer useful, and the same thing happens in reverse. With the start of this season, there have been many players who were not expected much, but who are standing out and are shutting up critics.
One of the players is Ousmane Dembele, the young French player who currently plays for FC Barcelona, under the orders of coach Xavi Hernandez. The former Spain player praised Dembele, and even compared him to Neymar.

Barcelona crushed Viktoria Pilsen in the Champions League, and Dembele completed a great match. This was what the coach said about him: “Dembele's ability in one-on-one is at the level of the best Neymar in Barcelona”, he stated.
