Ousmane Dembélé’s Heated Response and His Dig at Zabarnyi

In their third Champions League match, Paris Saint-Germain delivered an impressive offensive display against Bayer Leverkusen, winning 7-2. This standout victory also marked the return of Ousmane Dembélé to competitive play. Having been sidelined for over a month, the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner celebrated his comeback with a goal. After the match, he shared his thoughts and commented on the red card issued to Illia Zabarnyi.

“We started the match well by scoring first. After that, we went through a tough period with many yellow and red cards. I think we could have avoided our red card, but that’s how it goes. We stayed focused with two goals from Désiré (Doué), and we just had to carry on in the second half. We must continue like this; it’s just the first part of the season, and we need to stay on track. I entered the match quietly, wanting to play against Strasbourg, but the coach advised me to wait a bit. I felt really good in this match. A great pass from Bradley (Barcola) allowed me to score, and I’m feeling great,” he stated to Canal+.
