Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé delivered a frank and passionate assessment following his side’s 3–1 loss to Rennes, stressing the urgent need for greater collective commitment and unity within the squad.
Speaking after the match, the French international emphasized that individual efforts alone would not be enough to secure victories or silverware for the club. According to Dembélé, the team must rediscover a shared sense of purpose and prioritize the badge above personal ambitions.
“We must show more desire,” he stated. “Above all, we need to play for Paris Saint-Germain to be able to win all matches.”
Dembélé warned that a lack of teamwork on the pitch could derail the club’s ambitions for titles this season. He noted that success depends heavily on players putting the team’s interests first rather than focusing on personal performances.
“Because if everyone plays for themselves on the pitch, it’s not going to work and we’re not going to win the titles we want,” he added.
Reflecting on the previous campaign, the winger pointed to the unity that once defined the squad’s mentality. He recalled that last season, players consistently placed the club’s identity and emblem ahead of individual recognition — a mindset he believes must return if PSG hopes to bounce back strongly from the defeat.
The comments come at a critical moment as PSG looks to regain momentum and reassert its dominance in domestic and European competitions.
