Dembélé Roars Back to Form with 2 First-Half Goals and an Assist Against Slovan in Champions League

Ousmane Dembélé scored twice and assisted Ferran Torres as Paris Saint-Germain led 3-0 at halftime after a four-game winless run.

  • On Wednesday, Ousmane Dembele scored twice in the first half against Slovan Bratislava in Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League opener, marking his first goals of the new campaign and season.
  • Before facing Slovan, Paris Saint-Germain had failed to win its previous four games, conceding seven goals and losing the French Super Cup to Lens.
  • Demb opened the scoring in the 17th minute, then headed in a second goal from 18-year midfielder Dro Fernandez; he later set up Ferran Torres as Paris Saint-Germain led 3-0 at halftime.
  • Coach Luis Enrique deployed a new attack pairing Maghnes Akliouche with Torres and Demb, following the departures of Bradley Barcola to Liverpool and Ramos to Milan.
  • Ten PSG players were nominated Tuesday for the 30-man Ballon shortlist, with Demb, who won the award last year, among those recognized for individual excellence.
