"Dembélé's speed and quick thinking on his goal showed that the Ballon d'Or winner is getting back to his best in an injury-hit season. He latched onto a pass near the halfway line and then accelerated clear before cutting inside and then outside to beat defenders Marc Cucurella then Wesley Fofana before firing a low shot across Jørgensen and into the bottom left corner."
"He played very well, he played like Ousmane Dembélé knows how to and it's very good news for us. We look forward to him doing it again in London next week. When a player returns you have to give them the right amount of playing time."
"We showed we are capable of anything. We have to carry on like this. We conceded goals but we have to analyze the mistakes we made."
Paris Saint-Germain dominated Chelsea 5-2 in the Champions League last 16 first leg at home. João Neves and Ousmane Dembélé returned from injury to make immediate impacts, combining for the opening goal within ten minutes. Dembélé showcased his quality with a brilliant solo goal in the first half, demonstrating his recovery from injury. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, introduced as a substitute, proved decisive with two late goals that secured a commanding advantage. Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jørgensen's error led to PSG's third goal. PSG coach Luis Enrique praised Dembélé's performance and managed his playing time carefully. The victory provides PSG a strong position heading into next week's second leg at Stamford Bridge.
