Paris Saint-Germain will face Serie A giants Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena in the 2024/25 Champions League final tomorrow. French striker Dembele said the team must stay focused and calm, but also enjoy the moment of the game with a smile.
On the way to the Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool, but Inter Milan was also strong, defeating Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
Paris Saint-Germain striker Dembele, 28, said: "It is a great pride to be able to reach the final. It has not been easy along the way, but it is really meaningful to be able to stand on the field in Munich, and we know how much the Paris fans are looking forward to this game. We are facing this final with great concentration and joy, and we must control our emotions."
“Although it’s exciting, we also need to stay calm and focused. At the same time, we have to enjoy it with a smile, because such moments are really precious. I think this is also one of the keys to winning tomorrow’s game.”
Dembélé continued, “Since we last played against Bayern Munich here, the team’s overall level has improved, as has my level as well. I am happy with the progress we have made since that game. We want to keep this momentum going until the final victory. Inter Milan is a very good team and deserves to reach the final. They are solid defensively and have strong offensive capabilities.”
In addition, so far this season, Dembele has scored 8 goals in the Champions League and 21 goals in the French Ligue 1, helping Enrique's team win the championship.
Dembele said, "The coach has always trusted me very much. Since I started my career, I have always played in the middle. Now I have a lot of freedom. I can move left and right to disrupt the opponent's defense, and I try to stay sharp while running."
