I’m left-footed but shoot better with my right –Dembele
Ousmane Dembele has long been regarded as a special talent , and his frightening potential once again came to the fore on Sunday evening , Daily Mail reports .The 21 – year – old forward scored a sensational winner from range to help Barcelona to a 2 – 1 Spanish Super Cup win over Sevilla .
It gave the Nou Camp side their first silverware of the season , but it also ended a long -running debate as to whether Dembele is left or right footed .
Seemingly comfortable using either side , some supporters had questioned whether Dembele had a preference for his right or left .
However , after the goal, eagle – eyed fans on social media , quickly pointed out a video from 2016 which shows the player himself clearing up the confusion .
Speaking while at Rennes , Dembele revealed that while he prefers to use his left foot in open play , he regards his right foot as more potent when shooting .
“ I ’ m left – footed, ” he replied when asked about his favoured foot .
But with the interviewer well aware of his preference to take penalties with his right , Dembele was pressed further on the issue.
“(I take penalties like that because ) I shoot better with my right, ” he added .
Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde was full of praise for the youngster after his wonder – goal against Sevilla .
The Spanish champions had to come from behind after Pablo Sarabia scored just nine minutes in , but managed to level the game before half -time when Gerard Pique fired a rebound off a Lionel Messi free -kick .
But it was Dembele ’ s stunner into the top corner in the 78 th minute which gave Barcelona the hard -fought 2 – 1 victory and left Valverde happy with his team ’ s performance .
“ He ( Dembele ) is a player with great qualities and today has left us with something to be happy about in a difficult match , ” Valverde said .
