Ousmane Dembele registered 46 goal contributions last season (33 goals, 13 assists), ranking among Europe's top performers. He supplied two assists in the Champions League final during PSG's 5-0 win over Inter and recorded 14 goal involvements, the second-highest single-season total by a French player after Karim Benzema. Dembele set up the late equaliser in the UEFA Super Cup before PSG won on penalties. His form places him among Ballon d'Or contenders. He returned as a substitute in the opening-day win over Nantes, creating notable chances, and PSG prepare to host Angers at the Parc des Princes.
Dembele recorded 46 goal contributions (33 goals, 13 assists) in all competitions last term, a total only bettered by seven players across Europe's top five leagues. The Frenchman also became the first player to provide two assists in a Champions League final since 2018 during their 5-0 triumph over Inter back in June. His 14 goal involvements (eight goals, six assists) was also the second-most by a French player in a single season after Karim Benzema for Real Madrid in 2021-22 (17).
Dembele also helped PSG complete a stunning comeback in the UEFA Super Cup, teeing up Goncalo Ramos for a late equaliser before his team won the title on penalties against Tottenham. His displays have seen him backed to scoop this year's Ballon d'Or, though he faces tough competition from Barcelona duo Lamine Yamal and Raphinha as well as Liverpool's Mohamed Salah. He was introduced into the action in the 61st minute of their opening-day win over Nantes, with only Desire Doue (four) and Lee Kang-In (three) creating more chances (two, level with Fabian Ruiz and Ibrahim Mbaye) in the match.
