Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sang the praises of Ousmane Dembele after victory over Levante.

Aubameyang was one of the protagonists as Barcelona faced Levante in Valencia. He scored in the 59th minute.

“The entry of the boys (Gavi and Pedri) was key, we have confidence in the group. It was a very difficult game," said Auba, who also thought Ter Stegen's penalty save was a big moment.

“It made us grow and gave us strength," he added.

On match winner Luuk de Jong, he said: “He deserves it, he scored a great goal."

Dembele was one of the other players who made a big contribution, with the cross for Aubameyang's goal.

“He knows me well and I always have to get in place when he's going up the right," he said. “He has to stay."
