Paris Saint‑Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé said the club is determined to keep its Champions League crown.

As PSG prepares for the final against Arsenal, the French champions are focused on a successful title defence.

“We’re hungry to win every trophy, whether it’s the Champions League, the league, or the cup.”

“We’re competitors – if we want to be great players, we have to win this kind of trophy several times. We’re hungry, and we hope everything goes well tomorrow.”

Dembélé had a calf issue earlier in May but said he was never worried about missing the final.

“No I wasn’t scared about missing the final, I stopped as soon as I felt the niggle,” the PSG attacker explained. “I had 10 to 15 days to get myself in shape.”

He won the Ballon d’Or last year after starring in PSG’s run to European glory, and a repeat triumph could put him in line for another award.

“(Winning that) hasn’t really changed the way I am or the way I play. I do know, though, that I’ve had a lot more responsibility since I arrived at Paris Saint‑Germain,” the former Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund forward said.

“Right now I’m trying to perform well on the pitch, whether it’s in the big matches or the smaller ones.”

“I still have that desire, that hunger to win trophies with this club, with all the staff and this squad, and that’s the only thing in my head.”
