Dembélé masterclass calms ex-Benfica man at PSG – LOSC | OneFootball

Ousmane Dembélé was the brightest star in Paris, leading PSG back to victory after their elimination from the French Cup. On the night of last Friday, January 16, the Parisian team, which featured former Benfica players João Neves and Gonçalo Ramos, defeated Lille 3-0.

The current Ballon d'Or winner was the maestro of the French victory, scoring two of Luis Enrique's team's three goals. Thus, the French champions returned to winning ways after a surprising elimination against Paris FC, which was heavily criticized by Gonçalo Ramos.

The match, held at the Parc des Princes, confirmed PSG's favoritism as they took control from the opening minutes, creating several goal-scoring opportunities. In the 13th minute, Dembélé, from long range, beat Lille's goalkeeper and sent the home team into halftime leading 1-0.

Despite some reaction from the visitors, the Parisians were stronger and, in the second half, extended their lead with another precise shot from the Ballon d'Or winner in the 64th minute. To wrap things up, Barcola made it 3-0 in the 90+3rd minute.

Back to winning ways after their early exit from the French Cup, the Paris club is back on track. With three more points, PSG rises to the top of Ligue 1 with 42 points, now waiting for a slip-up from Lens, who are in second place with 40 points but have a game in hand.
