UCL Last 16: PSG Will “Attack” Chelsea At Stamford Bridge, Dembélé Declares

Paris Saint-Germain winger Ousmane Dembélé has issued a defiant message to Chelsea ahead of their Champions League Round of 16 second leg, asserting that PSG will not play defensively despite holding a significant aggregate lead.

PSG, who thrashed Chelsea 5-2 in the first leg at the Parc des Princes, travel to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night with a three-goal advantage. However, Dembélé, a recent Ballon d’Or winner, insists his team’s focus remains on securing another victory rather than protecting their lead.

“Our mentality is crystal clear. We want to win every single match we play, regardless of the circumstances,” Dembélé told reporters, with his comments relayed by Fabrizio Romano. “We are not going to travel to London and retreat into our own half simply to defend what we have. That is not our style. We are going to Stamford Bridge to attack, to play our football, and to try to go and grab another victory.”

Dembélé’s declaration sets the stage for an explosive encounter, as Chelsea face a monumental task to overturn the deficit against a PSG side committed to an offensive game plan. His pace and creativity are expected to be key as PSG aim to solidify their place in the Champions League quarter-finals.
