"I feel 100% healthy. I have been practicing with the team for ten days. The decision depends on the coach but I am ready, Dembele said. This striker did not play in the group stage due to injury. But he has been on the field since the second half, in the round of 16, when PSG beat Inter Miami 4-0.
With 33 goals scored in 50 matches, Dembele is a key figure in PSG's treble in the 2024-2025 season. As a candidate for every individual award in the world of football, he has finally reached the full potential he has set.
Coach Luis Enrique also praised his student. He emphasized Dembele as a phenomenon, an example for his teammates to follow. The Frenchman showed his leadership role at PSG through concrete actions, not just words.
How did people see him pressing? tell me, is there any any any number one player in Europe who is so active in pressing goalkeepers and central defenders? When you press like that as a leader, the rest just need to follow, Enrique shared.
In response, Dembele stressed that he does not always show the best qualities, but Luis Enrique has done his job very well. Before the match against Bayern Munich, Dembele showed his determination.
He shared: "The mentality at PSG is that we have to fight, otherwise the team cannot win any titles. The important thing is that we have to focus on facing Bayern Munich. We need to play with focus, set the pace of play, play our way. In addition, we also have to defend well because they are a strong opponent. PSG need to play at 100% strength until the end of the match".
The match at the Bayern Club World Cup will be a special match for Dembele. The last time the two teams met was in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League 2024-2025, which took place in November 2024.
In that match, Bayern beat PSG 1-0, while Dembele received a red card in the 56th minute. We want to pay back the debt because we lost to them. We knew it was going to be a tough game, but PSG were much stronger than in November.
A lot has changed since then, the players have improved their skills, and so have I. PSG has improved their playing style a lot. We know what we have to do on the pitch to beat any opponent.
The PSG vs Bayern Munich match will take place at 23:00 on July 5.
