Ousmane Dembélé

Analysis: Dembele was crowned Ligue 1 Player of the Year before kickoff and delivered a performance that justified the award. He intercepted Malang Sarr's loose pass in the first half, before releasing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in a one-on-one that ultimately opened the scoring. Dembele also added two key passes and wore the captain's armband throughout. He has now scored 10 goals and provided seven assists across 21 Ligue 1 appearances this season, consistently showing that he is one of the very best in his position.

Scores opener

Dembele scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and four corners in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Bayern Munich.

Analysis: Dembele played the decisive role in Wednesday's 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena, latching onto Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's perfectly-timed cutback from the left in the third minute and lashing an emphatic finish past Manuel Neuer to extend his side's aggregate lead and effectively end the tie as a contest within the opening exchanges. The French forward faded as the game wore on and was replaced by Bradley Barcola in the second half, but his seventh Champions League goal of the campaign struck with his first and only shot proved the only scoring contribution his side needed to reach the Budapest final. Dembele has registered seven Champions League goals and two assists this season.
