Ousmane Dembélé, Paris Saint-Germain’s 27-year-old striker, spoke to beIN SPORTS after the 2-4 win over Dunkerque (video highlights Dunkerque/PSG) on Tuesday at Stade Pierre Mauroy as part of the Coupe de France 2024-2025 semi-finals.
Dembélé “we knew we were going to have opportunities to score.”
Even struggling against PSG is impressive?
Yes, we knew it was going to be a tough game. They knocked out Brest, Lille and Auxerre too. We know it’s not easy to play against them. I think we got into the game well, but they came into our half twice and scored two goals, which hurt us. We stayed focused and knew we were going to have chances to score.
A little worried?
No, we stayed focused and created a lot of chances. You have to be fair and efficient. I felt a little worried at 2-0, but we stayed focused and I knew we’d have opportunities to come back.
Dembélé “it’s at times like these that you see great players and great teams.”
Are all the lights green for PSG?
Yes, the lights are green, but we’re going to stay focused because that’s where the season is played out. We can’t imagine losing to Aston Villa or a French Cup final. We have to stay focused because it’s at moments like these that you see the great players and the great teams.
