While his exit at the end of the match caused some fears on the Parisian side as well as on the French team, Ousmane Dembélé was very reassuring after the final won against Arsenal. Hit in added time and replaced before extra time, the PSG striker quickly dismissed any concerns about a possible muscle injury. “It was cramps!” In the 80th minute, it was hot…”he explained after the meeting. Good news for Didier Deschamps, who will therefore recover his player without any physical problems.
Despite a less brilliant performance than usual in the game, Dembélé still responded in a key moment by converting the equalizing penalty against David Raya. A valuable achievement which adds to an exceptional European campaign concluded with 8 goals and 2 assists. After his release, the French international remained very active on the bench, constantly encouraging his teammates until the final coronation. Enough to confirm that his exit was only linked to the fatigue accumulated after a particularly intense season, while further strengthening his candidacy for the next Ballon d’Or.
