🚨🎙️ Ousmane Dembélé responds to Premier League clubs complaining about PSG’s Champions League advantage. Reporter🎙️: A lot of English fans believe PSG have an advantage in the Champions League because they can rest their players in Ligue 1. What do you make of that criticism? Dembélé🗣️: Honestly, I think people are making this a much bigger issue than it needs to be. Every league has its own challenges, and Ligue 1 is not as easy as some people want to believe. When you play for PSG, every team wants to beat you. They defend, they fight, and they make life difficult for you. So this idea that we simply walk through our domestic games and arrive fresh in Europe is disrespectful to the competition. But what really surprises me is how difficult it seems for some English clubs to accept defeat. When they win, the Premier League is the best league in the world. They talk about its quality, its competitiveness and how difficult it is to win there. But when they lose to PSG, suddenly Ligue 1 is too easy, our players have too much rest, and we have some kind of unfair advantage. At some point, you have to ask yourself whether these arguments would exist if they were the ones winning. And let’s be honest, these English clubs have incredible resources. They spend huge amounts of money, sign top players and have managers who are paid to compete for every trophy. So if you’re telling me you cannot compete in Europe because your players are tired, what exactly are you building your squad for? You cannot spend millions on footballers and then act surprised that you need to rotate them throughout the season. The funny thing is, we didn’t hear this same level of complaining before PSG started beating these teams regularly under Luis Enrique. Now, instead of talking about our pressing, our movement, our tactics or the quality we show on the pitch, people would rather discuss how many days we’ve had to rest. That’s fine, but it doesn’t change what happened during the match. We respect English football. There are fantastic teams and outstanding players in that league, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. But respect has to go both ways. You cannot call the Premier League the best in the world and then constantly look for reasons to diminish the achievements of teams playing elsewhere whenever they beat you. If Ligue 1 is so easy, then come and play in it. If PSG are winning because of our quality, give us credit. And if you lose, have the courage to admit the other team was better. Football isn’t won by the league that makes the most money or the fans who make the loudest arguments. It’s won on the pitch, and that’s where we prefer to do our talking.
