Ousmane Dembele is the joint second most expensive signing in football history, but at his Barcelona unveiling he landed up fluffing a few of his tricks and flicks. Did you see what he did?
The Catalan club officially unveiled the Frenchman at the Camp Nou in front of a massive audience on Monday, where he was given his new jersey and asked to perform a few routine tricks for the cameras.
The crowd watched in angst after Paulinho had failed to impress at his unveiling for Barcelona just two weeks prior, and things started off well when Dembele pulled off more keepy-uppys than his new teammate did. However, that is where it stopped.
Videos later surfaced of Dembele spilling the ball and then trying to flick it over his head, but it smacked his butt instead, and he was left having to run after it. Awkward...
Check it out!
Of course, you don't judge a player based on his unveiling, but another failed presentation at Barcelona has come under scrutiny.
Dembele will partner up with fellow countrymen Samuel Umtiti and Lucas Digne at Spanish giants, and they left him a message to welcome him to the club.

Do you think it was millions of euros well spent on Dembele?
