Despite its eighth final return from the Champions League League scheduled for Tuesday on the Liverpool field, Paris Saint-Germain responded on Saturday, on the occasion of a trip on the side of Rennes. Concentrated on their subject, Luis Enrique's men have shown that they knew how to take the matches one after the other, with a large validated victory in the key to the Bretons (1-4, 25th day of Ligue 1). Ousmane Dembélé offered a record on this occasion.
Unheard of for a Ligue 1 player. On fire for several long weeks now, the tricolor international has given the cover to the Roazhon Park by slamming yet another double. Two goals in three minutes in the additional time of the second period, and therefore an unprecedented feat in the French championship since Le Parisien became the first L1 player to register twenty goals over the first three months of a calendar year over the last fifty years.
Candidate for the Ballon d'Or 2025?
In 2025, Ousmane Dembélé scored a goal during the Champions Trophy, another in the quarterfinals of the Coupe de France, twelve in Ligue 1 and six in the Champions League. A completely crazy yield which contrasts strongly with his first part of the season during which he had found the net at eight times, all competitions combined.
Launched like a rocket, the former FC Barcelona will have to continue on this dynamic if he wants to allow his family to gain strength. On Tuesday, he would be well inspired to find the net in Anfield, he who did not score on the outward journey, any more than during the backpack against Brest on February 19. Now quoted by potential candidates at the next Ballon d'Or, Ousmane Dembélé knows that the path for such a reward is still very, very long. But given its current form, everything seems possible.
