Having already secured the Ligue 1 title, Paris Saint-Germain visited Paris FC in the capital derby during the final matchday. Luis Enrique's side suffered a 1-2 defeat in this encounter.
Although this result holds little significance for PSG in terms of the league table, one incident during the game has caused serious concern among the champions' supporters. It concerns Ousmane Dembélé's injury.
The French winger was forced to leave the pitch in the 27th minute. With less than two weeks until the UEFA Champions League final, this news is an unwelcome signal for PSG. Especially since Dembélé, a 2025 Ballon d'Or contender, is crucial to the Parisians' success.
PSG is chasing a major goal on the European stage this season. Therefore, the condition of every key player before the final is of particular importance. Dembélé is one of the main players in Luis Enrique's system, providing speed, dribbling, and unpredictable attacking decisions.
After the match, head coach Luis Enrique gave a brief response to a question regarding the player's condition.
“He is fine. I hope it is nothing serious,” said the Spanish tactician.
The coach's words calmed the fans down slightly. It is not yet fully known how serious Dembélé's injury is, but Luis Enrique's cautious optimism suggests there is hope for him to feature in the Champions League final.
As a reminder, the most important game of the season for PSG will take place on May 30 in Budapest. The Parisians want to arrive at this final in peak condition. Having a player like Dembélé available significantly boosts the team's attacking potential.
In short, PSG lost the derby, but the main concern is not the scoreline — it is Dembélé's health. Now, everyone in Paris is waiting for one piece of news: that the injury is not serious and Ousmane can play in the final. Before the Champions League final, every star is worth their weight in gold.
