OUSMANE DEMBELE hilariously made the entire Barcelona bench move along… just so he could sit with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The pair started on the sidelines for Sunday’s 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid at the Nou Camp.
But footage from the dugouts shows Dembele shuffling the rest of the substitutes up a seat each.
And that creates a space next to the new signing where he can perch himself.
Aubameyang and Dembele caused chaos together at Borussia Dortmund before their respective moves to Arsenal and Barcelona in the 2017-18 season.
The good pals scored 37 goals between them under Thomas Tuchel in the 2016-17 season.
However, Frenchman Dembele, 24, would only be sitting with his mate for an hour.
Gaffer Xavi introduced the ex-Arsenal captain in place of fellow January arrival Adama Traore for the final half an hour.

Although he did not score, Auba, 32, did taste victory thanks to goals from Jordi Alba, Gavi, Ronald Araujo and Dani Alves.
Auba joined in a free transfer from Arsenal on deadline day after being frozen out by Mikel Arteta at the Emirates.
And his arrival could see Barca make a dramatic U-turn on Dembele, who was linked with a transfer to the Premier League.
The winger was set to be exiled for the remainder of the season when his contract expires at the renamed Spotify Nou Camp amid speculation he has already signed a deal with a new club.
But playing alongside Aubameyang could give Dembele a new motivation and Barcelona may decide to see if he can produce some goals rather than paying him £4.2million for nothing.
