As Paris Saint-Germain gear up for a decisive Champions League quarter-final second leg against Aston Villa, winger Ousmane Dembele has taken center stage, not just for his on-field form, but for his heartfelt reflections in the pre-match press conference. The clash at Villa Park promises fireworks, with both sides still very much in the hunt for a semi-final berth. But beyond tactics and line-ups, it’s Dembele’s candid remarks that have caught the attention of fans and pundits alike.
The French international expressed his deep satisfaction with life at PSG, describing his experience at the club as nothing short of joyful. “I love playing for this PSG team, it's a pleasure,” Dembele stated, a quote that underscores the strong chemistry and unity within Luis Enrique’s squad. His comments reflect not only personal contentment but also the confidence radiating from a team that has rediscovered its identity this season.
Best team ever..: Dembele compares his time at PSG with Barcelona
Dembele, who has recently found a new gear under Enrique, also offered a thoughtful perspective when asked to compare his time at Paris with his stint at Barcelona. “Best team ever for me? I don't know, as I also played at Barça with Messi who's the best player ever,” he said, acknowledging the greatness of former teammate Lionel Messi while also signalling the elite level at which PSG currently operate.
These comments come ahead of what could be a defining night for PSG’s European campaign. While much of the attention will be on the tactical battle between Enrique and Unai Emery, Dembele’s form and mindset could play a pivotal role in how the game unfolds. PSG are expected to push forward from the first whistle, knowing that a strong attacking performance will be required to overcome a resilient Aston Villa side on home soil. But with players like Dembele in such high spirits and full of motivation, the Parisians will be optimistic about their chances.
