Ousmane Dembélé is preparing to make his comeback this Tuesday evening, when Paris Saint-Germain travels to Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League. The French striker is not expected to start the match, but it remains to be seen how much time Luis Enrique will give him.

The next minutes of the Parisian number 10 will be his first since his injury contracted on September 5 with the Blues against Ukraine (2-0), but also since his coronation at the Ballon d'Or. The Vernon native knows that he will now be closely observed. An obvious choice for Jean-Pierre Papin, winner of the trophy in 1991.

“The hardest part begins for him”

The former Olympique de Marseille scorer wanted to send a message to his compatriot. He invites him to stay the course and remain true to himself, despite the pressure that accompanies this new status.

“The hardest part begins for him because when you are Ballon d’Or, afterwards, you have to take responsibility. When you have this trophy, others no longer look at you in the same way, no longer play against you in the same way. And he must not change, he must remain the same, as effective and important in the team”confided the RMC consultant.
