17 January 2026
Showcase moment: Dembélé's dazzling home display
Ousmane Dembélé delivered a stylish show for Paris Saint-Germain against Lille at Parc des Princes, on matchday 18 of Ligue 1.
Barely three days after PSG were eliminated from the Coupe de France, they bounced back with a commanding win as Paris Saint-Germain stepped past Lille on home soil.
PSG sealed the 3-0 victory thanks to Dembélé's strikes in the 13th and 64th minutes, with Bradley Barcola adding a late third at 90+3.
Second-half spark and a helper’s flourish
Dembélé also showcased his technique for the second goal, turning a moment of pressure into a piece of art as he danced into space and found the net.
Lille keeper Berke Özer did his best to reach the shot, but the ball eluded him in spectacular fashion.
PSG’s supremacy continued as Dembélé found space over the defense and keeper, the ball somehow slipping past both as it rolled into the goal.
PSG sit atop Ligue 1 with 42 points, while Lille hold fourth place, ten points adrift of the leaders.
Punchline: If football were a haircut, Dembélé just gave Lille a zero-length fade—clean and sharp.
Punchline 2: My WiFi at home is as fast as their counter-attacks when I try to load the match highlights—snappy, but sometimes it lags behind reality.
