In a double against Toulouse this Friday in the opening of the 28th day of Ligue 1, including a magnificent flying kick, Ousmane Dembele put on an outstanding performance just five days before the Champions League.
A performance worthy of a Ballon d’Or. This Friday, Ousmane Dembele led PSG by scoring a double at the reception of Toulouse in the opening of the 28th day (3-1). Scoring the opening goal with a superb left-footed volley into the top corner, the French international (58 caps) remained composed in his celebration – unlike his teammates who came to celebrate his 13th goal of the season in style.
“I think I shoot ten times, only one goes in, it worked for me tonight. I saw the ball coming slowly towards me, I thought I had to try it and it worked. This season, I think against Lille, it’s my best goal. Then, this one is also not bad, but I prefer the one against Lille,” explained the Parisian number 10 in the mixed zone.
The 14th goal came ten minutes later. The striker took advantage of a corner kick from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, redirecting the ball at the far post to allow Parisians to regain the lead. “It’s a nice victory. Afterwards, I think we can improve in the game. As the coach said, everyone is involved, we will need everyone to win multiple titles,” said the former Barca player.
PSG ready for the final sprint
Despite a reshuffled team, Paris managed playing time and reassured themselves before facing Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday (9 p.m). “We know we are entering the final stretch of the season, there will be tough matches, we have to respond now. We are starting well. Especially after the break, we know these games are difficult. We are preparing well for Liverpool’s arrival. We hope to have two good games. We know it’s a tough team. We’ve had a lot of problems, we even went to penalty shootouts. It’s the Champions League, the quarterfinals, anything can happen. We will try to respond now. When the season starts, we always want to try to win all the trophies. We will try to keep the league and the Champions League,” Ousmane Dembele added.
