Ousmane Dembélé criticised after another poor PSG display

Ousmane Dembélé is facing renewed criticism after another disappointing appearance for Paris Saint-Germain. The latest performance has put the focus on the 29-year-old forward rather than on any wider change to the club’s position. No league-table movement or form sequence is established by the available match information, so the immediate consequence is pressure on the player after another underwhelming outing.

Dembélé is registered as a centre-forward for PSG and holds French citizenship. He remains one of the club’s most valuable players, with a listed market value of €100 million. The criticism therefore adds scrutiny to a player whose standing at Paris Saint-Germain carries significant attention, even though no specific comments or individual ratings have been provided.

His career has taken him from Rennes B to Stade Rennais in 2015-16, followed by a move to Borussia Dortmund for €35 million in 2016-17. Barcelona then paid €148 million for him in 2017-18, before PSG signed him for €50 million in 2023-24. His recorded injury history includes hip flexor problems and a bruise. Those issues are noted in his profile, but they are not identified as the reason for this latest disappointing match. For now, the story is Dembélé’s performance and the criticism that followed it.
