PSG’s Key Star in Pursuit of the Quadruple
Dembélé Closer to Ballon d’Or: Ligue 1 Player of the Year
Ousmane Dembélé, regarded as a serious contender for the Ballon d’Or, has been awarded the Ligue 1 Player of the Year title.
According to reports, while Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), under the guidance of Luis Enrique, strives for a historic quadruple, the standout player of the season has undoubtedly been Ousmane Dembélé. After an exceptional season and setting an unparalleled scoring record in Ligue 1, Dembélé was named the league’s Player of the Year.
This accolade comes as Dembélé and PSG remain in contention for two more major trophies. PSG, with Dembélé, will face Inter Milan in the Champions League final. They are also set to compete in the Coupe de France final, having already secured the Ligue 1 title and the Trophée des Champions. A quadruple remains a possibility, marking a historic achievement.
Dembélé joined PSG from Barcelona in 2023. His first season at Parc des Princes fell short of expectations. Even in the current season, he struggled initially under Luis Enrique’s system. However, Enrique later adjusted his tactics, deploying Dembélé as a false nine instead of a winger, sparking his remarkable resurgence.
This tactical shift marked the beginning of Dembélé’s incredible form. This season, he has scored 33 goals and provided 13 assists in 46 matches across all competitions, averaging a goal every 67 minutes.
Dembélé’s outstanding performances have been pivotal to PSG’s success. As PSG advances to the Champions League final, Dembélé stands as one of the top contenders for the Ballon d’Or. If PSG secures the Champions League title, Dembélé will undoubtedly be the frontrunner for the prestigious award.
