PSG won the Intercontinental Cup, but not everything went smoothly. The Parisian attack raised concerns, especially with an unrecognizable Désiré Doué and an Ousmane Dembélé far from his best version. Is it serious, doctor?
Starting for the first time since his injury, Doué began well with an assist for Kvaratskhelia… before fading away. Too many lost balls, poor decisions, little impact: the Frenchman clearly struggled against Flamengo’s intensity.
Paris’ Attack Still Searching for Rhythm
Coming on as a substitute, Dembélé tried to bring some spark, but without success. Dangerous in short bursts and imprecise at key moments, he even missed a huge chance and his penalty. Without Safonov, the scoreline could have been much harsher.
The after-effects of The Best ceremony the day before? Fatigue, surely, but it could have cost PSG the title. So, red alert? Not yet. Both players are returning from injury and logically lack rhythm. The talent is there, and so is the timing. The real verdict is expected in the second half of the season. For now, Paris have won the trophy… but their attack is still a work in progress.
