In the wake of Kylian Mbappe's departure, Ousmane Dembele has emerged as a pivotal figure in Paris Saint-Germain's attacking arsenal, demonstrating his worth by netting a crucial match-winner in PSG's 1-0 triumph over AS Monaco in the Trophee des Champions final. This victory secured the club's first silverware of the 2024-25 campaign and highlighted Dembele's growing influence, with the winger already contributing nine goals and six assists across all competitions this season.
Former France international and Barcelona icon Ludovic Giuly has pinpointed what he believes is the sole factor preventing Dembele from ascending to football's highest individual honor. In a revealing interview with Telefoot, Giuly remarked, "We are happy to have him in Ligue 1, he is an incredible dribbler who has both feet and speed. If he had that finishing, he would be one of the great players in Ligue 1 and above all could claim the Ballon d'Or."
The 27-year-old winger has consistently terrorized defenses with his exceptional technical prowess, lightning pace, and remarkable ability to use both feet effectively. Under the tactical acumen of Luis Enrique, PSG aims to build on their recent momentum as they prepare for their upcoming Ligue 1 fixture, where they'll welcome St-Etienne to the Parc des Princes next Sunday.
