Paris Saint-Germain has found a new lethal attacking partnership following the departure of Kylian Mbappe, who left a significant void in the team’s offense.
Mbappe’s exit raised questions about PSG’s ability to maintain its goal-scoring dominance, particularly after his consistent performances in Ligue 1, the UEFA Champions League, and the Coupe de France.
However, the Parisian club has adapted impressively, especially in domestic competition, with a dynamic duo stepping up to lead the attack.
Ousmane Dembélé: Creator and finisher
Ousmane Dembélé has been a standout performer for PSG this season, showcasing his versatility and attacking prowess.
In 14 Ligue 1 matches, the French winger has contributed with 6 goals and 6 assists, delivering both creativity and finishing ability.
His ability to destabilize defenses with his dribbling and vision has made him a key figure in PSG’s offensive schemes.
Bradley Barcola: The emerging goal machine
Bradley Barcola, on the other hand, has emerged as a prolific goal-scorer for PSG this campaign. In 15 Ligue 1 matches, the young forward has scored 10 goals and provided 2 assists.
His clinical finishing and positioning in the final third have made him one of the most reliable players in front of goal.
Impressive combined output
Together, Dembélé and Barcola have accounted for an impressive 24 goal contributions in just 15 Ligue 1 matches combined.
Their chemistry and attacking synergy have allowed PSG to dominate the domestic competition, compensating for the absence of Mbappé and providing a glimpse into the club’s bright offensive future.
