PSG: Ousmane Dembélé surpasses Lionel Messi!

Driven by the exceptional talent of the gifted Franco-Malian Ousmane Dembélé, Paris Saint-Germain strings together victories and impresses at the start of 2025.

This weekend, the Parisian armada outclassed LOSC (4-1), continuing their streak of dazzling performances. One man particularly shines in this squad: Ousmane Dembélé.

The native of Bamako is having an exceptional season, the best of his career. Against Lille, he scored again and provided an assist, bringing his total to 26 goals and 6 assists across all competitions.

Dembélé does better than Messi!

At 27, the former player of FC Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund has erased a record held by Lionel Messi.

With 18 goals scored in official competitions since the start of the calendar year, he becomes the top scorer in this period in the 21st century across the five major leagues. An achievement that confirms his exceptional level.

A few days before a crucial clash against Liverpool in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, PSG can count on a Dembélé in a state of grace. Enough to fuel great ambitions for the rest of the season.
