French football player Ousmane Dembélé is living the best season in his professional career in terms of statistics, and this is good to know for his coach Luis Enrique when you think about the upcoming games for Paris Saint-Germain. The winger, Malian and Senegalese roots, is delivering assists…and scoring (many) goals, something he was not really accustomed to over the last couple of years.
Ousmane Dembélé, who is experimenting his second season in PSG, has become one of the main weapons of the French club after Kylian Mbappé’s departure for Real Madrid last summer. Surrounded by Bradley Barcola, Marco Asensio, Gonçalo Ramos and more recently Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the French international player was criticized a lot in his career due to poor goal statistics and a lack of efficiency that prevented him from being considered as a top and reliable player in the long term. Things are changing little by little, because Dembélé has never scored more goals in his career than right now.
As a matter of fact, before 2024/2025, the best season of Dembélé regarding the goals scored was in 2015/2016 with Rennes. At the time, he scored 12 goals for 5 assists in the French league. A promise that was never confirmed when the young talent moved to Germany (Borussia Dortmund) and Spain (FC Barcelona). If he continued to deliver assists, his number of goals was always subject to discussion. 6 goals in 32 games with Dortmund in the German league, and 24 goals (plus 33 assists) in 127 games of Spanish league with Barcelona. Not enough when you know what the player is capable of.
This season, Dembélé is living a new life in terms of efficiency. He is gaining confidence with PSG and already scored 14 goals in 18 games in the French league (for 4 assists). In Champions’ League, he scored 4 goals in 6 games. On top of that, Dembélé scored two hat tricks this week (against Stuttgart
and Brest). His last hat trick dates back to the time when he was playing for Rennes. The beginning of the story “Dembélé the serial goal scorer”?
Great player! ⚽️
