On Matchday 10 of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain hosted RC Lens at the Parc des Princes and won 1-0. On the sidelines of the match, 27-year-old Parisian striker Ousmane Dembélé reflected on his side’s success.
Dembélé “ We weren’t efficient, but we’re happy with the win.”
“We knew that Monaco had lost to Angers, and if we won we’d be 6 points ahead of them.
We started the game very well and could have scored two or three more goals. We weren’t effective, but we’re happy with the win today.”
Dembélé “it gives us confidence before Atlético on Wednesday.”
“My goal? It happened very quickly, Bradley had the ball on the left, and I’m always told to close down at the far post. He saw me and all I had to do was push it home.
It’s positive after our win in the Classic, and taking 6 points from second gives us a comfortable cushion in the league, and above all it gives us confidence ahead of Atlético on Wednesday.”
A great success for the capital club, which could have been even greater had it not been for RC Lens goalkeeper Brice Samba’s great night. For PSG, it’s a bit of a problem at the moment. Once again on Saturday, they found themselves with 18 shots, 8 on target and just one goal. The most important thing is obviously the consistency of the match, and in this respect the Parisians are 100% on top of their game.
In terms of the game, this Parisian team is more than convincing. But it’s something we’re going to have to put right, because winning by a single goal from so many chances is not normal. Let’s hope we can put things right this Wednesday, as the match against Atlético de Madrid at the Parc des Princes on Matchday 4 of the Champions League promises to be crucial.
