The 2025 started good for PSG. The end of 2024 (or rather the start of the new season in August) was also good, as the Parisians are (as expected) again at the top of the table in Ligue 1 with no defeats and 10 wins so far. They also won their first trophy in 2025, the French Super Cup on Saturday against the third-placed Monaco, with the only goal of the game coming from Ousmane Dembele in injury time. The former Barcelona forward was happy to win the trophy and to start the new year on a positive note, but also admitted that he and his teammates are already looking way ahead – to the pivotal game with Manchester City in the Champions League.Dembele delivers first trophy to PSG in 2025Both clubs, champions in their leagues made a terrible start in Europe, and with a new format in the Champions League, the Citizens are all but out of the direct qualifications for the round of 16 and will likely play in the playoff. The Parisians are in even worse situation with three defeats and are sitting one place (25th) and one point below the playoff zone. And their schedule is not easy, as the host Manchester City on January 26th. Before that, they do have two Ligue 1 games (St. Ettienne and Lens) and one Cup game (amateur club Espaly), but Dembele doesn‘t thing about those matchups at all.”It was a hard-fought match. We are back after ten days of vacation. It was a very intense match, it turned out for us, we are happy. If you don’t win this final, this trophy, you tell yourself that you are starting this month of January badly. Deadlines are coming up. This victory will give us a lot of confidence, it will push us. We all have our heads on Manchester City but before that there are matches to win“ he said to DAZN.It’s ‘sparking’ again between Dembele and EnriqueThe French winger also admitted that a few days in which the team spends time together are always useful. He also revealed that the started a competition with his teammates.”I said at the start of the season that I was going to score a few goals this season. I’m at 10 in all competitions so that’s good, we have to keep going. I made a challenge with my friends but I’m not going to tell you that! I made a challenge and there’s something to win on top of that (smiles).
