During a clash against Paris FC at the Jean-Bouin stadium, Luis Enrique’s squad faced a 2-1 defeat in a match that had no impact on the standings. Despite the festive atmosphere celebrating another French championship title, the mood shifted in the first half when Ousmane Dembélé exited the game prematurely, just under two weeks before a crucial season-defining fixture.

A calf concern taken with caution

Starting in the attack for the Parisians, the 29-year-old forward had to leave the field in the 27th minute due to discomfort in his calf. Given the French international’s injury history, this early substitution caused immediate concern among the spectators. However, initial reports from the technical staff suggest that the decision was made as a precautionary measure to avoid any unnecessary risk with a key player in the squad.
