PSG Stands by Dembélé Despite Struggles in Intercontinental Cup Final
Ousmane Dembélé’s struggle against Flamengo leaves PSG unfazed
In a gripping showdown against Flamengo in the Intercontinental Cup final this Wednesday, French star Ousmane Dembélé faced challenges on the field but continues to enjoy unwavering support from his PSG teammates. Despite a tough game, the team believes in his ability to bounce back.
A challenging game for Dembélé
Ousmane Dembélé, who has been slowed down by injuries since the start of the season, is gradually returning to play. However, his performance during the recent Intercontinental Cup final against Flamengo, which ended in a 1-1 draw followed by a 2-1 penalty shootout loss, was not entirely convincing. The versatile 28-year-old forward missed two key chances in extra time and hit the crossbar during the penalty shootout.
Team support remains strong
Despite these setbacks, there is no cause for concern within the PSG squad regarding the 2018 World Cup champion. Teammate Nuno Mendes emphasized that the game was merely an isolated incident. "I think it’s not a period, it’s just a match where he wasn’t at his best. I also believe that coming back from injury isn’t an excuse. If he’s on the field, it’s because he’s fit. Today (Wednesday), it just wasn’t his day, but we were there for him. That’s what a team is about. If one player isn’t doing well, the team is there to support him and lead to victory," stated the Portuguese left-back in a mixed zone interview.
Dembélé’s season performance so far
To date, Dembélé has scored three goals and provided three assists in 13 matches this season. His most recent goal was on October 21, against Bayer Leverkusen, in a commanding 7-2 Champions League victory.
In summary
- Ousmane Dembélé faced challenges in the Intercontinental Cup final against Flamengo but has the full support of his teammates.
- Despite missing two chances in extra time and a penalty, PSG is not worried about his form.
- With three goals and three assists in 13 matches, Dembélé’s last goal was scored on October 21.
As Dembélé continues to recover and regain his form, PSG remains confident in his potential to deliver stellar performances moving forward.
