“From 2017 to 2021 I wasted my time enormously.

“I have lost five years of my life. I had to work to be able to play, to be healthy and to be able to perform little by little.

“I’ve had a lot of hamstring injuries. The trainers insisted to me that if I didn’t work more, I was going to relapse. With Koeman I started to improve and with Xavi it has gone better.

“When I came to Barca I was younger, of course I went out, but not as much as people say or as people imagine,” Dembele said.
