Dembele: We are eager to win every honor we can compete for.

The 2025/26 UEFA Champions League final will be held at the Puskás Arena, with Paris Saint-Germain facing Premier League giants Arsenal for the title. French striker Ousmane Dembélé stated that the team is eager to win every possible honor, emphasizing that winning such titles is essential to becoming a great player.

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Paris Saint-Germain, thanks to a goal from Dembele, ultimately eliminated German giants Bayern Munich with a score of 6-5 on aggregate. In addition, Paris Saint-Germain had previously achieved their goal of defending their Ligue 1 title.

As for Arsenal, Mikel Arteta's team lifted the Premier League title last week, winning the title for the first time in 22 years.

Paris Saint-Germain striker Ousmane Dembélé said, "We cherish this moment very much, and the whole team is currently highly focused. This is a young team, and everyone is eager to win trophies. We want to win all the honors we can because we are all competitors. If you want to become a great player, you have to win titles like this."

“Arsenal is a very good team, as we’ve seen from their Premier League title win and their performance in the Champions League. They deserve to be here and deserve to be Premier League champions. They are a team that plays great football, both offensively and defensively, and they are especially dangerous from set pieces. Arteta has done a great job. It wasn’t easy for him at the beginning of his tenure, but he deserves to win the Premier League title.”

Dembele pointed out, "We have always hoped to stand on such a final stage. Last season's final was a historic night for Paris Saint-Germain, and everyone was extremely happy at the time."

“We still have a young and ambitious team, and we don’t want to rest on our laurels. This game has the potential to be another historic moment, and we will stay focused because we are facing a very strong team.”

In addition, when talking about head coach Enrique, Dembele said, "I think he is one of the best coaches I have ever worked with in my career. He has helped me make great progress both with and without the ball."

"As players get older, they accumulate more experience. Of course, I also have many incredible and outstanding teammates around me, which is a great help to me."
