Dembélé praised his coach Luis Enrique, saying: "He is one of the best coaches I've worked with during my career, he helped me a lot to develop."

He concluded his statements by saying: "It was a very special season, we played a large number of matches, and we always tried to be in the best physical readiness. The coach gave us some breaks to step away a bit from football and regain focus."
