Dembele forced off with injury with Champions League final on the horizon

PSG’s defeat to Paris FC came with a far more damaging consequence, as Ousmane Dembélé was forced off after twenty‑seven minutes with a muscle issue, sparking concern less than two weeks before the Champions League final. The Ballon d’Or winner started a largely inconsequential match but paid the price when he clutched his left leg, prompting Luis Enrique to substitute him immediately for Gonçalo Ramos. The coach later insisted the winger “is fine” and expressed confidence the problem “isn’t anything serious,” though the club remain cautious with Arsenal looming in Budapest.

Dembélé has been one of PSG’s standout performers this season, producing nineteen goals and eleven assists in thirty‑eight appearances, and his availability is considered essential to their game plan. His form and influence have been central to the team’s run to the final, making any injury scare a major concern as preparations enter their decisive phase.
