The meeting started badly for Ousmane Dembélé. The fault was his big missed opportunity shortly after Bayern Munich opened the score. But the international tricolor recovered well. In particular by transforming the penalty awarded by the referee just before the break. Manuel Neuer may have dived on the right side, but he was unable to stop the former Barcelona player’s shot.
In the end, the native of Evreux finished with two goals, an assist and a magnificent fake strike on the fourth goal scored by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Enough to earn him the title of man of the match awarded by UEFA at the end of the match.
Questioned when receiving his trophy, the French world champion was torn between the happiness of having participated in a legendary match and the regrets linked to the two goals conceded after the hour of play while PSG led 5-2.
“We saw two great teams who attack and don’t ask questions. Bayern is a great team, we too, we are happy with the result, even if we stopped playing a little at 5-2, he whispered into the Canal+ microphone. It was an incredible match, we will go to Munich to win and qualify. We’ll have to stay focused, but I think it’s going to be a good match. »
“If you don’t defend, Luis Enrique will put you on the bench”
Ousmane Dembélé also appeared on the set of CBS Sports Golazo where Micah Richards was surprised by the riot of energy he shows on the field. “The way you press… You play a shot to the right, a shot to the left, another down the middle, what are you having for dinner? »he asked.
But for the Ballon d’Or, there is no secret. “It’s simple: if you don’t press, if you don’t defend, Luis Enrique will put you on the bench! »he said, then looking ahead to the return match: “Both teams will attack and I hope it will be another spectacular match. We had fun for ourselves but especially for you. »
