Tuesday evening, Ousmane Dembélé was not happy with the performance of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. And he said it! Faced with Aston Villa, the Parisians were not up to the second half. While led 2-1, PSG was surprised after returning from the locker room and lost the meeting (3-2).

The victory in the first leg allowed Parisians to stay alive in this return quarter-final and to validate their ticket for the semi-finals. At the end of the meeting, Ousmane Dembélé then entrusted to the microphone of Canal+ that PSG had lacked rigor.

“You have to be demanding in these matches, we made the task very difficult in the 2nd period when we released ourselves. We thought we qualified, we thought we were too beautiful. At 2-1, we thought it was over, but the Champions League is like that ”, said the former FC Barcelona player at the microphone of the diffuser.

Ousmane Dembélé sulks his title of man of the match

Elected man of the match, the tricolor international could not hide his frustration. On a video, we even see him refusing to take the trophy of man of the match, which was set to him by the Parisian press secretary.

After having ended up accepting the trophy reluctantly, we see Ousmane Dembélé, his face closed and his gaze, on the official photo published by UEFA. An image that speaks volumes about the state of mind of the number 10 Ile -de -France. He preferred to sulk the collective performance of his team rather than rejoice in an individual consecration.
