This Saturday afternoon, at the Stade Francis Le-Blé, Stade Brestois and Paris Saint-Germain face off for the 9th day of Ligue 1.

A match that promises to be enticing between two teams who like to attack and take risks in the game. The two teams will meet for the first time since the double Champions League play-off confrontation last February.

A double confrontation which had been overcome by the Parisians (10-0 over the two matches). Ousmane Dembélé, in great shape, found the net twice against SB29. This Friday, in a pre-match press conference, Éric Roy did not fail to wink at the French international about his Ballon d'Or.

“I’m very happy for him. He's a good boy, a great football player. Of course he was rewarded thanks to the results of Paris Saint-Germain. He benefited from the Champions League victory. He also took advantage of his individual stats. He scored a lot of goals,” he told journalists.

Before adding with humor: “We helped him a lot because I think he scored a lot against us. So we have a small piece of this Golden Ball. »

Dembélé back in business

Returning from injury, Ousmane Dembélé played his first minutes of play this Tuesday on the pitch for Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League. A winning return for the 2025 Ballon d'Or since his team largely won with a score of 7 goals to 2 but also because he unlocked his goal counter in C1.

The Frenchman will now gain strength throughout the matches in order to regain all his sensations. This Saturday against Brest he should nevertheless start on the substitutes' bench before coming into play and hurting the SB29 defense.
