Ousmane Dembele proved the difference for Paris Saint-Germain in the first stage of their Champions League semi-final in Arsenal.
The 27-year-old scored the only goal of the match-in to give only the fourth minute-to PSG a 1-0 advantage prior to the return match of the next Wednesday in the French capital.
This year Dembele has been the most important Dangman of his club; He was directly involved in 30 goals in 2025 – more than any other player in Europe's top five competitions.
Gunners -fans would therefore have been relieved to see the France link forward in the 70th minute with the draw in the balance.
And with only eight days until the decisive leg in the Parc des Princes, all eyes will be on Dembele to assess the severity of the injury.
The player himself gave an update when he went to the team bus on his way.
He told the French outlet l'Equipe: “I felt something, but it's okay.”
His manager, Luis Enrique, expanded during his press conference after the match and admitted that there were concerns about the opportunities of his star player to make next week's game.
“He will undergo tests tomorrow,” said the Spaniard.
“It's not serious, it's something very small, but he is probably a doubt for the second stage.
'We are going to try to get Dembele back on the field, but we are a real team. If Ousmane can play, that's better. But if he doesn't, we are still a real team. We say that since the start of the season. '
On the performance of his side in the first stage, Enrique said: 'There was an incredible atmosphere in the stadium, it was deafening, but we started a wonderful start and the early goal gave us a boost of trust.
'It is mission accomplished for this evening. But our goal is to win the second stage at home. With Arsenal we cannot abandon our guard or be complacent because they can score quickly and we are back to.
“There is nothing in the bag. We have to win when we get home, because Arsenal now has nothing to lose. '
