Luis Enrique explains Ousmane Dembele's incredible goalscoring form and how he's been surprised by former Barcelona star ahead of Champions League play-off

Ligue 1

Lyon

Paris Saint-Germain

<p>The France international is in the form of his life after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ousmane-dembele-on-fire-psg-labelled-best-team-in-europe-forward-continues-blistering-form-monaco/bltfea8ab8473ac9882" target="_blank">scoring 13 goals for PSG in 2025</a> alone, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ousmane-dembele-psg-becomes-first-ever-player-to-score-hat-tricks-in-consecutive-matches-kylian-mbappe-neymar-zlatan-ibrahimovic/bltd0313eeb925a16c7" target="_blank">Dembele bagging braces and hat-tricks for fun</a>. Now, manager Luis Enrique has given his take on why the 27-year-old has come good and how he has been taken aback by one part of his game.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told reporters, via <a href="https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/ligue-des-champions/brest-psg-il-est-toujours-la-ou-il-faut-luis-enrique-explique-comment-dembele-est-devenu-un-buteur-efficace_AV-202502100808.html" target="_blank">RMC Sport</a>: "What particularly surprises us with Ousmane is his ability to move in the penalty area. He is always where he needs to be, he is then able to receive a ball and score with one touch. We know his qualities very well, his statistics this season are incredible but that is also the charm of being part of a team that manages to coordinate your ideas with those of your teammates.</p><p>"We knew Ousmane as a winger but we see that he is really capable of going anywhere and that is completely positive. What is surprising is his constant movement in the penalty area. Where last season we saw him start from the wing, we see him acting more as a number 9, it is something that we all benefit from and that we are all happy with."</p>

WHAT LUIS ENRIQUE SAID

<p>Dembele may be one of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ousmane-dembele-barcelona-worst-signing-club-history/blt4790afd6a73f0116#cs656b62d4e6537959" target="_blank">Barcelona's worst signings</a> at a whopping €135 million (£112m/$139m)&nbsp;but he is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/phenomenal-ousmane-dembele-mental-breakthrough-psg-barcelona-flop-permanent-spot-world-elite/blt26dc6da02ab5c24d" target="_blank">finally coming good at PSG</a>. And he could get even better.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Luis Enrique will hope Dembele can continue his goalscoring form when PSG travel to Brest in Champions League action on Tuesday.</p>
