A offensive leader of Paris Saint-Germain, Ousmane Dembélé has taken another dimension in the Luis Enrique team since the beginning of 2025. Authors of January and February completely crazy with eight and nine goals scored respectively, the tricolor international has slightly raised the foot in terms of performances in the following months with five goals and a decisive pass in March, as well as two goals and three decisive passes since early April.

I saw an action when they concede the goal against Nantes, almost the same as against Aston Villa. This perforation in the midfield was a boulevard, a highway, there was no toll. »»
