The match, which ended 2-2 after 90 minutes, was eventually decided by a penalty shootout, where the French champions triumphed 4-3 to claim the trophy.

Reflecting on the dramatic turnaround, Dembele spoke to PSG TV and emphasized the importance of the substitutions made by manager Luis Enrique. He specifically credited Goncalo Ramos, Ibrahim Mbaye, Lee Kang-in, and Fabian Ruiz for turning the tide in PSG’s favor during the final stretch of the game.

Dembele also lauded the PSG supporters for their unwavering presence and passion throughout the tense match. “Even when we were down 2-0, they never stopped cheering,” he said. “They’re our twelfth man, and their energy helped lift us. It was an incredible night and a reminder that in football, anything is possible.”
