Ousmane Dembélé
PSGSet for a few days of rest
Dembele (calf) is set for rest for the next few days after a precautionary exit from Sunday's 2-1 loss to Paris FC, according to his club.
Analysis: Dembele looks to only be dealing with minor issues after a scary exit Sunday, setting the forward up to still be an option for the club's remaining match in the UCL final. This is bright news for the attacker, as he is the most crucial piece of the dangerous PSG attack. That said, it appears he should be able to reach fitness again over the 12-day break until the final, likely not to risk much training to ensure he is fit for a possible second straight UCL title.
Subs off early in league finale
Dembele was forced to abandon Sunday's 2-1 loss to Paris FC after suffering a potential injury.
Analysis: Dembele was replaced by Goncalo Ramos after 27 minutes on the field, suggesting the French star was dealing with a muscular problem and the team opted to avoid any risk with the league title already decided. In any case, Dembele's status may be a concern if he has suffered a significant blow ahead of the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30. While his absence would reduce the squad's attacking potential, they have solid depth with rested options like Ramos and Desire Doue.
Delivers one assist
Dembele assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 2-0 win against Lens.
Analysis: Dembele was crowned Ligue 1 Player of the Year before kickoff and delivered a performance that justified the award. He intercepted Malang Sarr's loose pass in the first half, before releasing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in a one-on-one that ultimately opened the scoring. Dembele also added two key passes and wore the captain's armband throughout. He has now scored 10 goals and provided seven assists across 21 Ligue 1 appearances this season, consistently showing that he is one of the very best in his position.
Scores opener
Dembele scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and four corners in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Bayern Munich.
Analysis: Dembele played the decisive role in Wednesday's 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena, latching onto Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's perfectly-timed cutback from the left in the third minute and lashing an emphatic finish past Manuel Neuer to extend his side's aggregate lead and effectively end the tie as a contest within the opening exchanges. The French forward faded as the game wore on and was replaced by Bradley Barcola in the second half, but his seventh Champions League goal of the campaign struck with his first and only shot proved the only scoring contribution his side needed to reach the Budapest final. Dembele has registered seven Champions League goals and two assists this season.
Delivers one assist
Dembele assisted once to go with four shots (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Nantes.
Analysis: Dembele played a key creative role in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Nantes, delivering the assist in the second half that set up Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's second goal, collecting the ball at the edge of the area and threading a precise pass that the Georgian finished with a clinical curled effort. The French forward added three key passes and five crosses. Dembele has recorded 20 goals and six assists in Ligue 1 this season.
