Ousmane Dembélé is enjoying the best form of his career in 2025, emerging as a decisive force for both Paris Saint-Germain and France. After years of inconsistency, the French winger is finally delivering on his immense potential — and doing so when it matters most. Here's a breakdown of 10 key stats that highlight his remarkable surge this year:

1. 26 Goals in 27 Matches in 2025

Dembélé has been in lethal form, scoring 25 goals in 25 matches for PSG this calendar year, plus one goal in two appearances for France, including in the dramatic UEFA Nations League quarterfinal comeback against Croatia.

2. Scored in 17 of His 27 Appearances

Not only has he scored often, but he’s done so consistently. Dembélé has found the net in 17 of the 27 games he's played in 2025 — 21 as a starter, 6 as a substitute — and completed the full 90 minutes in 9 of them.

3. Game-Changer in 10 PSG Wins

His goals have been decisive in 10 PSG victories, including crucial matches like:

• 1-0 vs Monaco
• 4-2 vs Manchester City
• 0-1 vs Liverpool
• 0-1 vs Arsenal (Champions League semifinal first leg)

4. Hero for France in Nations League

Trailing 2-0 on aggregate against Croatia, Dembélé scored the 80th-minute goal in the second leg to force extra time. France eventually won the shootout and advanced to the Final Four.

5. Eight Champions League Goals in 2025

With 8 goals in 9 Champions League matches this year, Dembélé has been vital to PSG’s run:

• Hat-trick vs Stuttgart
• Brace vs Brest
• Winner vs Liverpool (0-1)
• Winner vs Arsenal (0-1)

6. Only 14 Goals in 62 Matches Pre-2025

Prior to this breakout year, Dembélé had just 14 goals in 62 appearances for PSG. His previous best season came with Barcelona in 2018–19, also with 14 goals. This sharp contrast underscores his current transformation.

7. 12 Goals Above Expected

According to advanced metrics, expected goals (xG) estimated just 13.95 goals for Dembélé in 2025 — yet he’s scored 26, outperforming the model by +12, a testament to his efficiency and improved finishing.

8. Ended 5-Game Goal Drought vs Arsenal

Despite his red-hot form, Dembélé had gone five matches without scoring before breaking the streak at the Emirates Stadium, netting the 0-1 winner for PSG against Arsenal in the Champions League semifinal first leg.

9. Most Goals in a Single Season

Adding in goals from late 2024, Dembélé has 33 goals in 45 appearances this season — his highest-ever tally. With the Champions League, Coupe de France final, three Ligue 1 games, and the Club World Cup still to come, that number could rise even higher.

10. Market Value Jumps from €55M to €75M

Per Transfermarkt, his market value has risen from €55 million (as of December 2024) to €75 million in April 2025 — a €20 million increase, or +40% in just four months.
