Paris Saint-Germain triumphed over Manchester City (4-2) on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, in the UEFA Champions League. Ousmane Dembélé was a key player in this victory, scoring the second goal for the Parisians, and later showed self-deprecation in response to criticism regarding his vacation during the break.

“After the break, I took a vacation, and I think I might ask for another one,” the PSG forward said. This humorous remark followed reactions to his time off, with some analysts questioning his preparation.

The PSG player also stated that he is used to criticism: “I’ve been criticized for 10 years; I’m used to it.” He then expressed his joy at getting back into the competitive rhythm midweek: “It’s always nice to play again on a Tuesday and Wednesday after… coming back from vacation.” A lighthearted reaction after a performance where his goal contributed to the Parisian victory.
