Ousmane Dembélé, the great 'threat' looming over Barcelona in the Champions League

Ousmane Dembélé is starting to 'unleash' himself as the 'star' that Paris Saint-Germain expected when they signed him from FC Barcelona. At 27 years old, the Frenchman has put his physical problems behind him and has reestablished his relationship with Luis Enrique to become the main offensive reference for the Parisian team, which secured its qualification for the round of 16 of the Champions League this Tuesday.

The French side visited Brest in the first leg of the European competition playoffs and left the Francis-Le Blé stadium with a resounding 0-3 that practically seals the tie in their favor. This victory for the French cannot be understood without the 'Mosquito', who celebrated a brace (which was not a 'hat-trick' because Lees-Melou stopped his shot with his arm in the first half that ended up being the 1-0 from Vitinha from the penalty spot) to lead his team's victory.

Dembélé looms over Barça

Dembélé is going through a sweet moment, scoring in each of the matches he has played in 2025 and establishing himself as the top scorer of the calendar year with 15 goals. In his last five matches, the Frenchman has scored an astonishing 11 goals, raising his scoring tally to 23 goals so far this season, along with six assists. Numbers from another planet.

Meanwhile, at Can Barça, they remain attentive to the spectacular present of their former player. If PSG does its homework at home and secures its passage to the next round, they could end up matched against the culés or Liverpool. If they have to face the blaugranas, the match will have a special 'flavor' for the Catalans but, above all, for the player, who, if he maintains his current level, will represent a true 'threat' to Hansi Flick's side.
