In a recent interview with UEFA, Ousmane Dembélé spoke of his dramatic evolution under the direction of Luis Enerique. Long considered a promising but inconstant player, even a potential failure, Dembélé managed to overcome the doubts surrounding him when he arrived at the PSG in 2023. After an encouraging first season, he experienced a real metamorphosis at the end of 2024, imposing himself as a decisive number 9. This bold choice of Luis Enerique, after the departure of Kylian Mbappé, proved to be extremely rewarding, as Dembélé achieved the best season of his career, with 35 goals and 16 assists from all competitions. His triumph in the Champions League crowned this staggering ascent.

The player stressed the importance of the collective in this success, stressing the progress of each player and the improvement of the collective game in Champions League and League 1. He also highlighted the confidence that his teammates gave him and his ability to place himself effectively in front of the goal to score. Dembélé particularly praised the influence of Luis Enerique, describing the coach as someone who loves the game and gave him more freedom to evolve within the field, while maintaining the importance of attack and collective defense.

Despite this exceptional season, Ousmane Dembélé does not intend to lower her ambitions. He reiterates that the PSG remains one of the teams to beat and has the same goal as last season: win everything. This determination, combined with his talent and his evolution under Luis Enerique, suggests a bright future for the Paris club and raises concern among other European teams. Outside the field, the PSG also faces medical challenges, with the absence of Senny Mayulu for the European Supercut due to an injury to the right thigh adductor.
