Ousmane Dembélé, the new guide to the PSG attack

No, and his two big missed chances on Sunday at the end of the match (85th, 90th) prove it: “Dembouz” has not suddenly become a clinical attacker. But yes, in this 2024-2025 season, the ex-Barcelonese is changing. His double, Sunday against Saint-Étienne – his 10th and 11th goals this season -, which comes after his four recent goals against Lyon and Monaco, reflects this progressive change. And responds to a clear wish of the player, which originated in July. When last summer, a few weeks after the departure of Kylian Mbappé, he was asked, in private, what role he now intended to play, Dembélé did not hide it: this time, he wanted to carry Paris. And take on the role of number 1 striker by scoring.
