Leverkusen/PSG: Dembélé’s reaction after his triumphant return | OneFootball

Ousmane Dembélé, the 28-year-old forward for Paris Saint-Germain, stopped by the Canal+ microphone after the 7-2 victory against Bayer Leverkusen (video highlights Bayer Leverkusen/PSG) this Tuesday at the BayArena as part of the 3rd matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League. He discussed the team’s performance and his return from injury.

Dembélé: "We had a bit of a difficult period."

Was this a champion’s demonstration?

Yes, that’s right, we started the match well by opening the scoring. After that, we had a bit of a difficult period with a lot of yellow cards and also some red cards. I think we could have avoided our red card, but that’s how it goes. We stayed in the match with two goals from “Des” that did us good. After that, we just had to keep going in the second half.

Dembélé: "We have to keep going like this, it’s only the first part of the season."

This is the first time you’ve scored 7 goals away from home in the Champions League—does that mean anything or is it just anecdotal?

It matters, we have to keep going like this, it’s only the first part of the season. We’ll have to stay on track, whether it’s in the Champions League or in the league. We’ll keep moving forward calmly, it’s only the first part of the season and that’s it.

Dembélé: "I feel good and, little by little, I’m getting my sensations back."

How did you feel coming back after your injury?

Very good, I came back a bit cautiously. When you come back from injury, you’re not yet at 100%. I already wanted to come back against Strasbourg but the coach told me to wait a bit. I felt very good in this match and then I saw the opportunity coming, a good ball from Bradley and all I had to do was put it in the back of the net, I feel good and, little by little, I’m getting my sensations back.
