Paris Saint-Germain regained the lead in the last minute of the match against Strasbourg, thanks to a decisive goal from Ousmane Dembélé that saved Luis Enrique and the French team before their meeting with Barcelona in the Champions League. The final result, 3‑1 in favor of PSG, allowed the Parisian club to remain at the top of the Ligue1 table after a dramatic comeback on the second day of the European competition.
Luis Enrique, who had decided on a radical change to his starting lineup, was looking for an offensive response against Strasbourg, who had shown a solid performance in the middle of the table. The first half was defined by a goal from Reyna, who took advantage of the lack of pressure from the local defender to fire a low shot that slipped into the back of the net. The rest of the match was a possession battle, with PSG's midfield, led by Dro and João Neves, failing to create clear opportunities. Strasbourg, with a compact defense and a midfield that kept up the pressure, managed to keep the score unchanged.
The Asturian coach introduced three early changes: Digne, Dro and Zaire-Emery were replaced by Nuno Mendes, Vintinha and Doué, respectively. Later, J. Neves and Kvarastskheila were replaced by Hakimi and Dembélé. With the arrival of these players, PSG began to show greater fluidity and creativity. Dembélé, despite having missed a penalty, managed to equalize the score with a close-range shot by Zabarnyi after a precise cross from the former Barça player. Luis Enrique's reaction was one of relief and celebration at the comeback.
In the final minutes, Dembélé scored again, this time with a goal that consolidated the victory. After a long pass from Safonov, Dembélé controlled the ball inside the area and, with masterful skill, passed to Ferran Torres on the right. Torres' cross reached the far post and Doué converted with a shot from the right, sealing the 3‑1 victory. Dembélé's performance was decisive, as his goal ensured PSG remained top of the Ligue1 table and gave them the confidence to take on Barcelona in the Champions League group stage.
With this victory, PSG advances in the Ligue1 standings and maintains its leading position, while Strasbourg remains in the middle of the table. The next challenge for Luis Enrique will be the meeting with Barcelona, where PSG will have to demonstrate its ability to compete against one of the strongest teams in Europe. The comeback and Dembélé's goals have reinforced the team's morale, which will be crucial in the upcoming games in both the league and the Champions League.
