Dembélé’s Historic Year Continues With Stellar UEFA Super Cup Performance
With the match slipping away, Ousmane Dembélé ignites Paris Saint-Germain’s dramatic comeback and buries his kick in the shootout to secure the club’s first UEFA Super Cup, boosting his Ballon d’Or case.
The UEFA named French forward Ousmane Dembélé as the best player of the UEFA Super Cup final, where Paris Saint-Germain defeated Tottenham in Udine. The PSG side, trailing 0-2 in the 84th minute, mounted an incredible comeback with goals from South Korean Kang-In Lee and Portuguese striker Gonçalo Ramos. The latter’s equalizer came from a precise cross on the right wing by Dembélé, who also converted his penalty in the decisive shootout that sealed the first UEFA Super Cup in the club’s history.
Dembélé Leads the Parisian Comeback
Arriving to the new season after just seven days of training, Dembélé played a key role in Luis Enrique’s side’s rally to overturn the scoreline. His assist and confident penalty kick under pressure showcased the technical quality and mental fortitude that have defined his year.
With PSG chasing an unprecedented sextuple, the winger’s form could prove decisive. Nominated for the Ballon d’Or and among the favorites for the prestigious individual award, Dembélé continues to demonstrate that he thrives on the biggest stages.
PSG’s First UEFA Super Cup a Statement of Intent
For Paris Saint-Germain, lifting their first UEFA Super Cup is more than just adding another trophy to the cabinet—it’s a statement. The club displayed resilience, depth, and the ability to deliver under pressure, key ingredients for the challenges ahead in domestic and European competitions.
The combination of Dembélé’s flair, Kang-In Lee’s determination, and Gonçalo Ramos’s finishing ability underlined PSG’s attacking arsenal. As the season unfolds, the French champions’ ambition for historic glory looks more realistic than ever, with Ousmane Dembélé firmly at the heart of their success.
