Ousmane Dembélé returned to the pitch for PSG in the 7-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen on Matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League league phase. Moreover, the Frenchman scored a goal after his time away from the pitch as part of the convincing win over the German club.
It’s also the first action from the PSG star since winning the Ballon d’Or as he was injured when he received the honor. While Dembélé experienced an amazing 2024-25 season, he isn’t letting that success get to his head and cause an inflated ego.
After PSG defeated Bayer Leverkusen, Dembélé was asked about a close friend of his potentially having the same success he experienced last season in winning the UEFA Champions League and Ballon d’Or.

“If I want Kylian Mbappé to win the Ballon d’Or? I hope so — he deserves it given his career,” Dembélé said (h/t Le10Sport). “He’s having another great start to the season; he just keeps scoring. He’s a friend of mine, and I hope he keeps it up and wins it one day.”
