Ousmane Dembele named UEFA Champions League Player of the Week

Ousmane Dembele has been named UEFA Champions League Player of the Week after a breathtaking display in Paris Saint-Germain’s 5–4 thriller against Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes.

UEFA’s official website confirmed the award for the PSG winger, who has been in sensational form in recent months as the season enters its decisive phase.

Dembele produced a complete attacking performance in the semi-final first leg, scoring twice and adding an assist to drag Paris over the line in a chaotic, high-intensity contest. His direct running, sharp movement and end product proved too much for Bayern’s defence, once again underlining why he is so influential for Luis Enrique’s side. At 28, the French international is combining consistency with flair and has become one of the key faces of this PSG project.

He finished ahead of Antoine Griezmann in the public voting, reflecting just how much his performance resonated with fans and neutrals alike. Dembele has also become a real fan favourite at PSG, with supporters fully embracing his match-winning contributions on European nights. With the return leg still to come, his current form could be decisive in determining whether Paris reach another Champions League final.
