Paris Saint-Germain hosted Lille on Saturday as part of Ligue 1 matchday 24 (4-1 PSG/Lille video highlights). After the match, Ousmane Dembélé, the 27-year-old striker who scored again on Saturday, spoke to PSG TV.
Dembélé “We had to be serious today”.
“It was a very good performance. The coach told us to play the same way, whether in the league or the Champions League. We took the game seriously from start to finish, and that led to this score, which makes us all happy. We know we’ve got a tough game on Wednesday, but we wanted to continue our fine run. We had to be serious today, and win to take the three points.”
A very important match for PSG, which they had to win, and they did so in style. There’s nothing to say about this first half, which was mastered from A to Z by a Parisian team that was once again unstoppable. The slackness in the second half was normal, given the schedule and the next match awaiting Luis Enrique and his men.
Now it’s time to get ready for the Champions League. Liverpool are probably the most in-form team at the moment, along with PSG, which should give us an XXL match. We’re expecting a great spectacle, and hopefully a Parisian victory in the first leg at the Parc des Princes.
