On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain will host Chelsea at the Parc des Princes for the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 clash. Ousmane Dembélé intends to make Chelsea his next victim.
Despite being the defending champions, PSG approach this high-profile encounter during a difficult spell following their 3-1 defeat to Monaco in Ligue 1 and several recent performances that have been considered less convincing.
Dembélé Ready to Lead PSG Against Chelsea
Luis Enrique must also deal with several physical concerns, including Ousmane Dembélé, who has been struggling with fitness in recent weeks. Criticized after publicly questioning the team’s lack of commitment, the French forward now wants to deliver his response on the pitch.
According to L’Équipe, the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner is eager to assume a leadership role against Chelsea and guide PSG toward victory and qualification. The message had already been sent a few weeks ago after the defeat against Rennes.
“I think we need to show more desire, and above all we must play for Paris Saint-Germain if we want to win matches. Because if we all play individually on the field, it won’t work, and we won’t win the titles we want,” he said at the time, before being addressed by Luis Enrique. Since then, discussions have taken place inside the locker room. But Dembélé remains determined: PSG must rediscover the hunger they had last spring. And the timing could not be better.
