Ousmane Dembele has been unveiled in front of almost 18,000 fans at the Camp Nou after completing his move from Dortmund to Barcelona .
The Frenchman was signed for £97m and has inked a bumper five-year deal.
The Blaugrana have showered their social channels with #DembeleDay content, raising morale after Neymar's departure.
Dembele's buy-out clause is set at a monster £369m and a debut could take place against Espanyol on September 9.
Now the second most expensive player of all time, after Neymar's £199m move to Paris Saint-Germain, Dembele will have big pressure to replace the Brazilian.
The 20-year-old spoke of his pride after signing his contract alongside Josep Bartomeu.
"I'm really pleased to form part of the Barca family. I have always wanted to play for Barca since I was a kid. I watched all their matches," Dembele said.
"I'm really happy to now be part of the best club in the world with the best players in the world.
I hope to win lots of trophies and titles here.
"I'm hoping forward to a good year, a successful year and looking forward to playing here in this stadium.
"Visca Barca, visca Catalunya."
