OUSMANE DEMBELE: ‘MESSI IS THE BEST EVER, BUT PSG IS WHERE I HAVE THE MOST FUN’

At the moment, Ousmane Dembele is in his best form of his career. The French winger has found his stride under Luis Enrique at Paris Saint-Germain, scoring 32 goals and providing 10 assists in just 41 games across all competitions. To put things into perspective, the winger's form is nothing short of a spectacle, and it has come a few seasons after he made the decision to move from Barcelona to PSG after a bittersweet La Liga exit. Dembele spoke to the media right before PSG's UEFA Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Aston Villa. The forward, who is 26 years old, responded candidly when asked if he thought this was the best team he had ever played for. Dembele’s comments carry a significant weight of reflection, showing that he still admires his time at Barcelona, especially sharing the pitch with Lionel Messi. 

 Not a happy ending

 It is essential to keep in mind that Dembele's move to PSG in the summer of 2023 came as a surprise, particularly considering that he had extended his contract with Barcelona just one year prior. It is safe to say that his departure left a bittersweet feeling among the Barcelona faithful and this is because the Frenchman was once considered a key part of the club’s future.

 During Dembele's spell at Barcelona (2017-2023), they won three La Liga titles and the Copa del Rey and Supercopa de Espana twice - but never won the Champions League. PSG are one of the favourites to become champions of Europe this season so perhaps this question should be asked at the end of the campaign.

 Dembele will hope to fire PSG into the semi-finals of the Champions League when they travel to Aston Villa on Tuesday for the second leg of their quarter-final tie. PSG lead 3-1 from the first leg, with the winners set to face Arsenal or Real Madrid in the last four.

 “I have played in some good teams. I also remember that Stade Rennais was a great team. Dembélé hurriedly pointed that out after the Breton club was not mentioned in the question. “I don’t know if this PSG team is the best that I have played in because I played with Lionel Messi at Barcelona and for me, he is the best player of all time. But [PSG] are one of the teams where I’ve had the most fun.”
