Speaking at Paris Saint-Germain’s Media Day, just ten days before their highly anticipated Champions League final showdown against Arsenal, head coach Luis Enrique lauded Ousmane Dembélé’s consistent defensive contributions. Enrique emphasized that Dembélé’s tireless work rate in defense, regardless of the match situation or minute, is a vital asset to the team.

The coach pointed out that the French winger’s overall impact is often underestimated by fans and pundits, with analysis frequently focusing solely on his offensive statistics. “Dembélé defends all the time, no matter the match or the minute. It’s important to have him,” Enrique stated, underscoring the value of the player’s commitment beyond goal-scoring and assists.
