With 13 goals scored since the beginning of January (and even 16 since December 15), it does better than in-Nesyri (Fenerbahçe), Marcos Leonardo (Al Ahli); and Alex (Dewa United) with 11 achievements. At the European Big 5, Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid) and Mateo Retaui (Atalanta) stand out, but remain far with 9 goals only in 2025. The tricolor international therefore had a real click, at 27! He who had marked only one hat -trick at the very beginning of a career in Rennes 9 years ago, has just slammed two following against Stuttgart in the Champions League then against Brest.
The insolent form of Dembelé impresses in Spain
Enough to impress in France, but also on the other side of the Pyrenees where he evolved for six seasons. In Barça, he was far from being a big scorer and his clumsiness made him speak as much as his ability to make the difference in the foot. His best Liga season? 8 goals in 2018-19 for a total of 23 goals throughout his career in Liga. At the rate that El Mosquito is currently sailing, he should exceed this score of 23 achievements just in this season without too much difficulty. So inevitably, the Spanish media are surprised by this new Dembelé. Sport wonders: “Is it the same Dembelé that many criticized for his lack of investment at the time of Bartomeu?“For the Catalan daily, the answer is clear:”Dembelé is today the PSG star and takes the place left by Mbappé after his departure. In attack, it is he who commands», Can we read.
On the side of Marcawe are talking about a Dembelé “Brestial“Related to the bestial side that has become the player author of 21 goals in 27 matches in all competitions, but also related to Brest, the evening opponent of PSG to whom he put a hat-trick last weekend. For their part, Mundo Deportivo,, AS and even El Desmarqueprefer to let Luis Enrique speak, the principal responsible according to them of the insolent form of the tricolor international with 6 goals in 53 selections now placed in false 9 in lethal efficiency.
Luis Enrique himself amazed at Dembelé's performances
“”I have been, I am and I will always be a defender of the players of the technical quality of Ousmane. What surprises us particularly with Ousmane is this ability to move in the penalty area. It is always where it is necessary, it is then able to receive a ball and to mark in a touch of the ball. We know his qualities very well, his statistics this season are incredible, but that's also the charm of being part of a team that manages to coordinate your ideas with those of your teammates“Said the Asturian technician, at a pre-match Brest-PSG pre-match in the Champions League on Monday, still so surprised by the success of his attacker.
Once again, Ousmane Dembélé will be the number one offensive weapon of PSG against Brest. Now expected, the one who has just been crowned best player in Ligue 1 for the month of January will probably not have to force his talent to unravel the Brest lock, he who has already managed to do it five times in two games L1 this season. But there is no doubt that a new performance in the Champions League would further bring the tricolor world champion a little more in the Gotha of the best European players, before dreaming why not according to the results of a more golden destiny.
