MADRID — The days of Barcelona fans jeering Ousmane Dembélé are long gone. Dembélé scored the winning goal early in the second half as Barcelona defeated 10-man Real Sociedad 1-0 to return to the last four after a one-year absence. Barcelona fans had been upset with Dembélé after he refused to accept the club’s decision to loan him to another club last summer. The Catalan club has won four matches in a row, including the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid in Saudi Arabia. Real Madrid hosts city rival Atletico Madrid on Thursday, and Athletic Bilbao visits Valencia.
