Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet insists Ousmane Dembele is learning from his timekeeping problems earlier this season.

Lenglet admits the striker has copped plenty of wind-ups from teammates for his behaviour.

He explained, "He needed time. He came out of a big transfer, highly publicised, a serious injury in the wake of it, he's 20 years of age...

"Then, with time, his qualities stand out inevitably. He has tremendous qualities and on top of that he's a good guy.

"He was teased a lot (on his delays). It's a way to sting him. He was punished for it, and now everyone is laughing at it. But he is someone who is endearing by his smile."
