Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has made the bold decision to drop star winger Ousmane Dembele for their crucial Champions League match against Arsenal. Dembele, who has been in excellent form with four goals in six Ligue 1 games, was reportedly left behind in France following a disagreement with Enrique during PSG’s 3-1 win over Rennes.
The bust-up occurred after Dembele was substituted in the 82nd minute, leading Enrique to question the player’s commitment to the team’s values. Enrique explained: “This is about the responsibilities of the player. If someone doesn’t comply with the team’s expectations, they are not prepared to play. I have the support of the club’s president and sporting director.”
Despite Dembele’s exclusion, Enrique made it clear that the situation is not irreversible. PSG won their opening Champions League match against Girona, while Arsenal, managed by Mikel Arteta, had a goalless draw against Atalanta. Arteta expressed his respect for PSG’s depth and emphasized the challenge ahead for his side.
