by Of the negative factors that can be attributed to Luis Enrique’s Paris Saint-Germain, forcefulness is not one of them. The Parisian team once again showed off its great punch in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Real Sociedad, winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappé and Bradley Barcola.
And the notes were important, but also the contribution. of the most elusive footballer on the field during the first match of the tie: Ousmane Dembélé. The French winger became a child of the wind against the San Sebastián team, being undetectable by rivals and driving the defense crazy who found no other way to stop him than with fouls.
In fact, Dembélé shone with his own light in the Parc des Princes during the match against Real and led several statistics during the first 90′: He was the player with the most duels won (eleven), with the most fouls suffered (five) and with the most successful dribbles (four out of four attempts).
In addition to their great meeting, Dembélé also had a direct participation in the goals. Mbappé’s initial goal was born after the corner taken by the former Barça footballer, and Barcola’s ruling also had its origin in a play by Ousmane, freeing a rival to play with Fabián and for him to assist before the goal. A night where the best Dembélé shone with his own brilliance.
