He did it again. After scoring a legendary goal against Lille, Ousmane Dembélé this time decided to bring the defenders of Olympique de Marseille to their knees, this Sunday at the Parc des Princes for the 21st day of Ligue 1.
Already author of the opener, with a perfect finish against Jeffrey de Lange on a serve from Nuno Mendes (12th), the 2025 Ballon d’Or did not miss the opportunity to score a new double. An opportunity that he created for himself…all by himself. On a pass from Senny Mayulu in the middle of the field, Leonardo Balerdi completely misses his intervention and leaves control of the ball to Ousmane Dembélé, alone on the right thirty meters from the goal.
Pauleta under the spell in the stands
The French international stares at the Argentine defender and mystifies him with a left-footed hook, before doing the same with Facundo Medina, clearing him with a nice inside dribble to get in the direction of the goal. From a tight angle, Ousmane Dembélé unleashes a powerful shot with his right foot which lodges under the crossbar of the Olympian goalkeeper (37th). 2-0 for Paris, the Parc des Princes exults. This is the seventh goal in Ligue 1 this season for the Rennes-trained player, all from ten shots on target.
Present in the stands, Pedro Miguel Pauleta literally hallucinates in the face of the talent of “Dembouz”, who celebrates heartily at the corner post under the “Eh Ousmane Ballon d’or” launched by his audience. His achievement against Lille was not voted goal of the month… This time, it is difficult to imagine this masterpiece forgotten in February.
