Dembele fails at ball-juggling at Barcelona unveiling

Barcelona's new record signing Ousmane Dembele demonstrated suspect ball skills at official unveiling in Barcelona, Spain on Monday (28th August). When your club have just paid close to £100m ($129m USD) for a new player you would expect to see something special, what you wouldn't expect is to see that future star fail at something most football-mad school children can do. At his official Nou Camp unveiling, Ousmane Dembele failed to impress his new supporters with an embarrassing attempt at ball-juggling. The Frenchman attempted to show off his skills but on two occasions lost control of the ball. The 20 year-old will wear the No. 11 shirt vacated by Neymar, but fans won't have been impressed with their first glimpse of his replacement. The France international joined from Borussia Dortmund in a deal that means he becomes the second most expensive player ever, behind the £198m ($256 USD) fee paid to Barcelona by Paris Saint-Germain for Neymar.

"fails" is something else. he clearly can do it but made a few mistakes due to nervousness. dembele isn't even one of the top 5 problems of barcelona

[qwest]

His touch was really nice and he landed his first around the world. The only thing that was kinda embarassing was the rainbow flick.

Whose here after his celebration against barca in UCL

[purplepete]

People are acting as if every footballer can keep this going for hours, he did well

[ettfdf]

This was a warning sign, right from the start...

[bendover-bvyp]

We should have known then itself that we have bought a problem

[twilight]

Just as I thought this video was published in 2017, look at him now

[JollyJumper]

Some people can't do the basic stuff but excel at advanced stuff. It happens

[netweed]

Jeez, it wasn't that bad for 10 seconds really xD

People expect him to keep doing it at bedtime?

[joaovaranda]

How do they expect to win cups and leagues if their players can't juggle a ball like a freestyler?! (Sarcasm)

Dembele was so good at barca before he got his first injury. He was starting every game and made some good contributions to the team but when he came back from injury, it all went downhill

[justinmoosavi]

it’s not like hes nervous or something

[songu]

I don't doubt his talent at all...but that mistake was funny as hell 😂😂😅 even more so in a gif 😂😂

[shadwphoenix]

Bro you can literally see on his face how nervous he was.

[tweeze]

Imagine the reaction of neymar or ronaldinho if they ever watched this

[rndmguy]

THATS
bro if that’s embarrassing that means i’m a fucking failure

[Sam-hpfi]

Hoping his PSG presentation is similar 🙏

[MuadafMohamed]

He is just nervous as a baller I can see it in his eyes and his play

[meapppxd]

I've heard about this infamous presentation for a long time but 0:24 blown my mind

[noahnightking]

Funny, not too serious tho, I feel a bit bad nonetheless but then again he’s playing for a top team with a top salary so oh well...
