In 2017, Ousmane Dembélé was one of the most expensive signings in football history — €135 million to replace Neymar at FC Barcelona 💸. But what followed was a story of chaos: injuries, lateness, bad habits, and wasted potential 😓. Even Dembélé admitted: “I wasted five years of my career.”
Fast forward to 2025, and the story has flipped completely 🔁. After a difficult start at PSG, Luis Enrique made a bold tactical switch — moving Dembélé to a central position. The result? 25 goals, 31 goal contributions, a Ligue 1 title 🏆, a Champions League win 🏆, and Dembélé named Player of the Tournament ⭐.
From being labeled a flop at Barcelona to becoming PSG’s undisputed leader and a serious Ballon d’Or contender 🥇, Dembélé has pulled off one of the greatest redemption arcs in modern football ⚽. In this video, we dive deep into his journey, his evolution, and what makes him one of the best in the world right now 🌍.
