Ousmane Dembele says Paris Saint-Germain remain determined to win more European titles ahead of Saturday’s UEFA Champions League Final clash with Arsenal.
Speaking at the Puskás Aréna, Dembele said the French champions were focused and motivated to defend the title they won for the first time last season.
According to the forward, PSG’s young squad and coaching staff remain eager to compete for major trophies, including the Champions League, league title and domestic cup competitions.
Dembele said winning major honours consistently is necessary for players who want to be regarded among the best in the game.
The former Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund winger also dismissed fears over a calf injury he suffered earlier in May, insisting he was never worried about missing the final.
He explained that he stopped playing immediately after feeling discomfort and used the recovery period to regain fitness ahead of the decisive match.
Dembele added that although discussions around individual awards continue following his performances for PSG, his primary focus remains helping the club win trophies.
He said the added responsibility since joining PSG has not changed his mentality, stressing that his main ambition is to continue delivering strong performances in both major and smaller matches.
