Ousmane Dembélé scored twice against Toulouse on Friday in the opening of the 28th round of Ligue 1, including a magnificent volley. This performance came just five days before the Champions League.
A performance worthy of a Ballon d’Or. Ousmane Dembélé led PSG by scoring a brace in the game against Toulouse on Friday, the opening match of the 28th round (3-1). He opened the scoring with a superb left-footed volley into the top corner, and despite his teammates celebrating his 13th goal of the season, he remained composed. “I think I take ten shots, 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 my best goal was against Lille. After that, 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 from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, heading the ball at the far post to give PSG the lead. “It’s a good victory. After that, I think we can improve on the match. As the coach said, everyone is involved, we will need everyone to win several titles,” said the former Barcelona player.
PSG ready for the final sprint
Despite a revamped team, Paris managed game time and gained confidence ahead of the match against Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday (9pm). “We know we are entering the final stretch of the season, there will be tough matches, we have to respond. We’re off to a good start. Especially after the break, we know these matches are difficult. We are preparing well for Liverpool. We hope to have two good games. We know they are a tough team. We’ve had a lot of problems, we even went to penalties. It’s the Champions League, the quarter-finals, anything can happen. We will try to respond. 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,” Dembélé added.
