For a long time, 'Lee Kang-in colleague' Usman Dembele (Paris Saint-Germain), who has been called the icon of 'Eating and running', is expanding his position as the 'New King of Paris'.

Dembele led his team to a 3-0 complete victory by shooting multiple goals in the first leg of the 2024-2025 European Champions League (UCL) knockout phase playoff against Brest at Stade France-Francis-Reville in Brest, France on the 12th (Korea time). Lee Kang-in replaced Bradley Barcola in the 30th minute of the second half and played on the ground for 15 minutes.

As a result, Dembele continued his remarkable performance in 2025, scoring 15 goals, or two goals per game, in eight games. He has scored more goals than anyone else in the top five European leagues this year.




He is 'Career Hi' at the age of 27. Dembele made a surprise move to Barcelona in the summer of 2017 while playing for Dortmund. Barcelona invested a huge 105 million euros to fill the void of Neymar (now Santos), who left for PSG at the time.

However, during his six seasons with Barcelona, not a single season met his expectations. The issue of lack of self-care has not stopped. He lived with injuries, both large and small. In the end, Barcelona sent Dembele to PSG for just 50.4 million euros, half of its investment in the summer of 2023.

Dembele, who is nestled at PSG, scored 23 goals this season, including the Cup, his second season in Paris. This is four times more than the previous 2023-2024 season, with only six goals, and this season is the first time Dembele, who played in Dortmund and Barcelona, has scored more than 15 goals in a single season.

Dembele, who scored eight goals in the first half of the season, began firing his scoring shots after giving his team the trophy with a pre-emptive winning goal in the Trophy des Champs-Ees against Monaco on January 6.

From Monaco to Brest (5-2 win) on February 2, he scored six consecutive goals and scored hat tricks in consecutive games against Stuttgart (4-1 win) and Brest. He became the first player in PSG history to shoot a hat trick in two consecutive official games. Lee Kang-in assisted Dembele's first goal against Saint-Etienne (2-1 win) in January and Dembele's third goal against Brest in February. Lee Kang-in, who has six goals and four assists in the league this season, has both recently turned to Dembele. Dembele finished the match against Brest "Lee Kang-in's pass was magical," he praised.

Dembele led the league to a 4-1 victory over Monaco on the 8th with multiple goals and also scored multiple goals in their Champions League showdown with Brest. He has shown his strength to score multiple goals five times this year. Kylian Mbappe, who left for Real Madrid last summer, is quickly erasing the gap.

"What surprises us is the movement in the penalty box," PSG coach Luis Enrique said. "Dembele is always where he should be, and when he receives the ball, he can score a goal with just one touch. His scoring statistics this season are astonishing" he raised his thumb.

"We recognize Dembele as a winger, but he has the ability to play in any position. He moves constantly in the penalty box. It starts in the wing position, but you can see it playing like a No. 9 (striker). It helps our team, it satisfies us.'

According to Enrique, Dembele himself is more surprised by his scoring ability recently than anyone else.

Through Dembele's reliable performance, PSG is cruising to its fourth crown of the season. In Ligue 1, I am leading the league alone, 10 points behind second-place Marseille, and the victory over Brest gave me an advantage in advancing to the round of 16 in the Champions League.
