“They thought they replaced Messi with Dembele”: A Highlight from PSG’s Defeat Takes the Spotlight
As much as PSG fans were happy to see Messi leave and Dembele arrive, they might start regretting it now.
PSG got beaten 2-3 by Nice yesterday, and one episode of Ousmane’s ‘skill’ shows exactly why he never was 100 percent Barca quality.
In the 27th minute, when the Parisians were already behind, Dembele missed a golden chance in a situation where hitting the target was easier than missing. Here’s how fans reacted to that howler on the Internet:
The_Maffin_Man: “PSG thought they did something when they replaced Leo Messi with Ousmane Dembele.”
9JustNathan9: “If Luis Enrique knows what’s best for him, he should bench this bum. But this is what PSG ultras get for booing Messi.”
MmoaNkoaaa: “Lamine Yamal: 1 goal, 1 assist this season. Dembele: 0 goals, 0 assists.”
Messiologist: “Ousmane Dembélé since leaving FC Barcelona: 6 Matches, 0 goals, 0 assists. He is about to reach the iconic figure, 007!”
AnabellaMarvy: “Anytime Dembele was one-on-one with a keeper, there was an 80% chance of it landing in space.”
EliLeezayy: “Dembele man… Thank God he’s left my club.”
It seems like Dembele’s performance at PSG is not living up to the expectations of some fans, and they are starting to miss Messi’s contributions on the field.
