Ousmane Dembélé issues a warning to Liverpool before the Champions League last-16 second leg.

Ousmane Dembélé is one of the most in-form players in world football, leading a dominant Paris Saint-Germain side that is cruising toward the Ligue 1 title. Luis Enrique’s team is in ruthless form and won’t be taken lightly by Liverpool.

The 27-year-old has been revitalized this season, netting 18 goals since the start of the year as PSG extends its lead at the top of Ligue 1. Their emphatic 4-1 victory over Lille—who have beaten Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid in the Champions League and dismantled Feyenoord 6-1—has widened the gap to 13 points. PSG remains unbeaten in 24 matches.

Having already dispatched Manchester City in the Champions League group stage and dismantled Brest 10-0 on aggregate in the knockout round play-off, PSG is set for an exciting last-16 showdown with Arne Slot’s Liverpool.

Liverpool, too, is in commanding form, sitting 15 points ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League and topping their Champions League group. However, Dembélé is confident in PSG’s chances, emphasizing the team’s unity and attacking style when speaking to DAZN.

“We are preparing well for the match against Liverpool,” the French winger said. “Since the start of the season, [Luis Enrique] has been pushing us to play good football. Everyone is involved—midfielders, defenders, attackers—all wanting to make an impact. We are in a great rhythm and want to maintain it as long as possible. We’re enjoying ourselves. Everyone attacks, everyone defends—we are a united team, and that’s bringing results.”

Alongside the Madrid derby between Real and Atlético, PSG’s clash with Liverpool is one of the standout fixtures of the last 16. Dembélé acknowledged the magnitude of the tie and expects a thrilling encounter.

“It will be a tough match,” he added. “It’s the Champions League, and Liverpool finished first in their group. They are confident as well. It’s going to be a great spectacle.”

Dembélé’s 26-goal tally across all competitions marks the best season of his career, fulfilling the potential he showed at Borussia Dortmund. His €145 million move to Barcelona was plagued by injuries, but now, in a more central role at PSG, he is thriving. With the team having already scored 105 goals while conceding just 35, they head into the Liverpool clash in formidable form.
