He told Sport: "The injuries came because at 20 years old as I did not work like I do now.

"And if you want to be a great player, you have to work. Your talent is not enough. I didn't know before, but now I see that it's essential to work on and off the pitch."

On signing a new contract, Dembele also said: "Undoubtedly, Xavi has been key to continue. Also the president (Joan Laporta), I talk a lot with both of them. I'm fine. Everyone is happy now."
