Paris Saint-Germain have finally secured their first Ligue 1 victory of the season, overcoming Brest 1-0 on Sunday. Ferran Torres continued his remarkable form by scoring the decisive goal inside five minutes, finishing off a brilliant move involving Ousmane Dembele. Despite the positive result, manager Luis Enrique insists his squad must show more authority on the pitch.
Current Ballon d'Or holder Ousmane Dembele has opened up on his desire to retain football's ultimate individual prize. The Paris Saint-Germain forward revealed how winning the award changed his life while insisting the trophy will remain at the Parc des Princes.
Ousmane Dembele has revealed the flattering nicknames Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has earned since cementing his place at Paris Saint-Germain. The French winger heaped praise on his team-mate during a joint interview, explaining how the Georgian star is viewed inside the dressing room.
Ferran Torres scored a sensational hat-trick while Ousmane Dembele netted twice as Paris Saint-Germain began their Champions League title defence with a 6-1 thrashing of Slovan Bratislava. Both forward stars reacted with delight after lighting up the Parc des Princes.
With the Lionel Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo duopoly presumably disappearing into the rearview mirror, the battle for the Ballon d'Or hasn't felt so open for the best part of 20 years, with countless players now beginning each campaign believing they have a chance of claiming the most prestigious individual prize football has to offer. Ousmane Dembele emerged from a career plagued by injuries and inconsistencies to win the Golden Ball in 2025, and he is among a crowded field of contenders again in 2026.
Ousmane Dembele has sparked debate across the footballing world by claiming that the Ballon d'Or will remain at Paris Saint-Germain this year. Despite intense competition from across Europe's elite leagues, the Frenchman remains convinced that the Parc des Princes is the only logical home for football's most prestigious individual prize.
