After scoring eight goals in January across all competitions – including a goal in every match he played – Dembélé was at it again on Saturday, hitting a hat-trick for the second match in a row as PSG beat Brest 5-2.
Sterner tests will come, especially if PSG beat Brest in the Champions League playoff round, but, with Dembélé in this sort of form, perhaps this will be the year PSG finally win the Champions League.
Two games, two hat-tricks: Ousmane Dembélé cannot stop scoring for PSG The 27-year-old has scored 11 goals in six games this year – including hat-tricks in his last two matches.
Dembélé is patently brimming with confidence at present, making him a must-watch player; no one has scored more goals in Europe’s top five leagues since the beginning of the year.
Indeed, the manager stuck to his favoured formation on Saturday, playing Kvaratskhelia on the left, Barcola on the right and Dembélé through the middle, a role he has rarely occupied since leaving Rennes.
