Ballon dOr winner Dembele included in PSGs Champions League squad - Soccer News
"The 28-year-old enjoyed a stellar campaign in 2024-25, registering 46 goal involvements (33 goals, 13 assists) in all competitions for Luis Enrique's side. His impressive form in front of goal saw him lift the Ballon d'Or last month, becoming only the second PSG player to do so, after eight-time winner Lionel Messi back in 2021. Dembele started the 2025-26 campaign strongly with two goals and one assist in three Ligue 1 appearances before getting injured while on international duty with France."
"The forward played a key part in PSG's maiden success in Europe's elite competition last year. He scored eight goals and provided six assists for his team-mates in the competition, the second-most goal involvements by a French player in a single edition of the competition after former Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema in 2021-22 (17). Dembele also became the first player to provide two assists in a Champions League final since Marcelo for Real Madrid in 2018 during their 5-0 rout of Inter."
Ousmane Dembele has been included in Paris Saint-Germain's travelling squad and looks set to return from a hamstring injury for the Champions League tie against Bayer Leverkusen. He missed seven matches after sustaining the injury in September. Dembele registered 46 goal involvements (33 goals, 13 assists) across all competitions in 2024-25 and won the Ballon d'Or, becoming PSG's second-ever winner after Lionel Messi. He began 2025-26 with two goals and an assist in three Ligue 1 games before suffering the hamstring problem on international duty. He contributed eight goals and six assists in last season's Champions League. PSG have started their title defence with wins over Atalanta and Barcelona, have welcomed Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia back, and remain without Fabian Ruiz and Joao Neves.
