Ousmane Dembélé is back. After a mixed first part of the season, the Paris Saint-Germain striker seems determined to definitively start his season. Against Lille, the 2025 Ballon d’or reminded the public at the Parc des Princes that their talent has not disappeared.
From the first quarter of an hour, “Dembouz” put his team in front on the scoreboard by perfectly adjusting his shot from twenty meters. An already unstoppable sweetness for Berke Ozer who can only see the damage at the foot of his left post. But the real treat only arrives at the hour mark. More discreet since his first goal, Ousmane Dembélé will literally stop time in the capital in the 64th minute.
After a relay between Nuno Mendes and Désiré Doué, the former Rennais was found in the area. He hooks, feints, seems to procrastinate in the face of the return of four Lille defenders… before placing a delicious ladle 15 m from the goal. The ball rises very high in the Paris sky, too much for Ozer, and comes back down into the Northern nets.
The public is hallucinating, the “Eh Ousmane Ballon d’or, Eh Ousmane Ballon d’or” come down from the stands, and Paris leads 2-0. The French international scored one of the best goals of his career. To the point of being a candidate for the “Puskas” prize, rewarding the best achievement of the year? It is still too early to say, but it will certainly go down in the legend of the winner of the Champions League. PSG, which has still not extended its striker, is taking advantage of the return of its Golden Ball to temporarily regain its leadership position in the French Championship.
