Didier Deschamps certainly had a stressful moment seeing Ousmane Dembélé ask for his replacement last night.

Ousmane Dembélé left the pitch at the Ferenc-Puskás stadium at the end of normal time in the Champions League final. The 2025 Ballon d’Or had previously requested a change from the Paris Saint-Germain staff.

Author of the equalizing goal from the penalty spot, the French international immediately caused concern. Indeed, the World Cup starts in less than two weeks.

Yet Didier Deschamps doesn’t really look panicked.
“No, I haven’t had any news. But hey, he wasn’t the only one to have cramps given the intensity, it was the final, at the end of the season. explained the Blues coach this Sunday morning on Téléfoot.

Dembélé, in the legend

The arrival of Ousmane Dembélé within the French group is not in question. “I don’t have any more specific information. continued the 57-year-old technician. The Parisians will join us on Tuesday, with William Saliba obviously. We will take stock at that time. »

PSG’s number 10 became the first reigning Ballon d’Or to score in the Champions League final since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2017. At the time, the Portuguese scored a double in Real Madrid’s 4-1 victory over Juventus Turin in Cardiff (Wales).
