PSG Fight Back to Beat Strasbourg After Dembele Penalty Miss
Dembele recovered from a missed penalty to drive PSG’s comeback, with the champions scoring three times to move top of Ligue 1.
On Saturday, October 17, 2026, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Strasbourg 3-1 at the Stade de la Meinau, moving the reigning French champions to the top of the French Ligue 1 standings.
Strasbourg initially took the lead in the 17th minute when United States midfielder Giovanni Reyna beat goalkeeper Matvey Safonov low at the near post, as the hosts dominated early play.
After missing a 72nd-minute penalty, Ousmane Dembele set up Illia Zabarnyi for the 78th-minute equalizer, then scored the go-ahead goal with five minutes remaining to seal the comeback.
In stoppage time, Ferran Torres assisted Desire Doue for the third goal, extending manager Luis Enrique's squad to four consecutive French Ligue 1 wins and six victories overall including the Champions League.
Paris Saint-Germain faced a quick turnaround after playing Manchester City in the Champions League just three days prior, with Barcelona awaiting the club in three days.
While he had the opportunity to allow the PSG to return to the score, Ousmane Dembélé missed his penalty this Saturday against Strasbourg. This is the third consecutive failure in this exercise for the club of the capital.
