Absent from the field since August 30 and the match against Toulouse, Ousmane Dembélé celebrated his return to competition almost two months later during the Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen. The 2025 Ballon d'Or would have wanted to participate in the match against Strasbourg, but Luis Enrique decided otherwise.
Never mind. Entering shortly after the hour mark, Dembélé managed to participate in the Parisian offensive festival in Germany (7-2). “I entered on tiptoe a bit, I wanted to enter against Strasbourg, but the coach told me to wait a bit. I felt very good in this match. A good ball from Bradley (Barcola) and I was able to put it in, I feel good“, he declared on the microphone of Canal+.
“As long as I'm hungry, I'll be at PSG.»
Later, in the mixed zone, the French international was once again questioned about his return, but also about his future at PSG. With 44 goals and 33 assists in 100 matches and a Ballon d'Or in his pocket, Dembélé is in a strong position to negotiate a contract extension. Linked to PSG until 2028, will number 10 go as far as the showdown at a time when Paris has put an end to the salary policy of the Neymar, Messi, Mbappé years?
“I feel good, I am regaining my sensations little by little. (…) As long as I'm hungry, I'll be at PSG. I'm happy to celebrate my 100th match with the club with a goal. I hope to continue this momentum. When you are injured, you want to get back on the field quickly. I took my time to come back from this injury. » Determined to come back like a cannonball, Ousmane Dembélé still seems hungry…
