Barcelona and PSG legend Ronaldinho has lavished praise on Ousmane Dembele, describing the resurgent winger as a player with a “Brazilian style”.

Dembele, 27, has come into his own this season after years of inconsistency and injury setbacks.

Now settled at PSG following a 2023 move from Barcelona, the French forward has been instrumental in the club’s domestic dominance and Champions League campaign.

So far, he has contributed to 32 goals and eight assists across all competitions.

Speaking to L’Equipe, Ronaldinho was effusive in his admiration.

“There’s Ousmane Dembele at PSG. I like him a lot. He has a slightly Brazilian style! He’s disconcerting, he invents, he provokes.

“He’s often unreadable and, what’s more, he scores a lot of goals. He’s revealing himself, bursting into a different role than he did at PSG last year or at Barcelona before that.”

Dembele’s flair and creativity have made him a key figure in Luis Enrique’s side, who are set to face Aston Villa on Wednesday in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
