Two games, two hat-tricks: Ousmane Dembélé cannot stop scoring for PSG

The 27-year-old has scored 11 goals in six games this year – including hat-tricks in his last two matches

It’s all going to plan. It just took a little longer than expected and there were plenty of setbacks along the way. Ousmane Dembélé was considered a panicked buy when Barcelona signed him from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 to replace Neymar. Given the deal made him the second most expensive footballer in history, he failed to live up to the hype.

After a disappointing time in Spain he returned home to France last summer, again taking Neymar’s place, but this time at PSG. Dembélé had a disappointing first season in Paris, scoring just six goals in 40 appearances. But the 27-year-old is finally delivering on the promise he showed when he burst on to the scene with Rennes nearly a decade ago.
