MADRID (AP) — It wasn’t long ago that Ousmane Dembélé was being jeered by Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou. He had just refused to leave the club after being told he wasn’t wanted anymore. There had been back-and-forth accusations. Barcelona said it only wanted fully committed players. Dembélé said he would not give in to blackmail. The relationship appeared well beyond saving.

He is playing well and fans have been cheering instead of booing him.
