Former Barcelona and Real Madrid player Bernd Schuster praised Ousmane Dembele and coach Ronald Koeman. The German analysed the win over Ferencvaros in the Champions League on Onda Cero radio.

"Dembele lacked consistency because of the injuries, but he's a player who makes the difference," said Schuster. "This was one of the best first halves that Barca have. The players are looking forward to proving themselves and fighting for a start.

"In this Barcelona you can see the hope, the desire of the players, the young ones are integrating well. But it's a construction year and there will be ups and downs."

On the coach, he added: "Koeman was a good bet by Barca, he knows what he's doing." Striker Martin Braithwaite is thriving too. 

 

"He's in very good form because he's scored in various games and you have to take that into account in La Liga," added Schuster. "It's key for Messi and Griezmann to play with a No 9."
