Luis Enrique hails ‘marvellous’ Dembele as PSG win big in Champions League
Ousmane Dembele has been used sparingly so far this season as he builds up his fitness again after the World Cup.
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique praised forward Ousmane Dembele for a "marvellous" performance as the French club secured a 6-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League. Dembele scored two goals and provided two assists in the match at the Parc des Princes. Prior to this, Dembele had been used sparingly due to his fitness concerns after the World Cup.
The Spaniard also commended Dembele's ability to create chances and press, which he described as a "pleasure" to see. Despite Dembele's impressive display, PSG continued to field other key players like Ferran Torres and Fabian Ruiz. Coach Luis Enrique also spoke highly of Slovan Bratislava's coach Yaya Toure, acknowledging the difficulty of playing against a team that has won the Champions League in the last two years.
Toure, the first African to manage a team in the elite club competition, admitted that it was challenging to compete with Paris Saint-Germain but praised his team's efforts.
