PSG v Lille: just like in 2025, Dembélé loves playing in January 🔥 | OneFootball

Here we go again!

This Friday evening, Ligue 1 treated us to a clash between PSG and Lille to kick off the weekend.

Although the Lille side created a huge chance in the opening minutes thanks to Olivier Giroud, it was another world champion who lit up the Parc des Princes.

Found at the edge of the penalty area in the 13th minute, Ousmane Dembélé sprang into action at lightning speed to unleash a clinical strike and open the scoring.

A magnificent goal, followed by a truly sumptuous second in the second half. Played in inside the box, the former Barça man outwitted the defense before lobbing the Lille goalkeeper with astonishing cunning and delicacy.

Having scored only four goals in his first 14 matches of the season, the Ballon d'Or winner has now netted as many in the four games he has played since the start of 2026.

This hot streak is reminiscent of the one he experienced exactly a year ago. Struggling for success in 2024, Ousmane Dembélé took advantage of January 2025 to score eight goals and establish himself as one of the favorites in the race for the Ballon d'Or.

So, is it happening again this year?
