With the exception of Kylian Mbappé, it's clear that Ousmane Dembélé is experiencing the best moment of his career and is currently one of the best players in the world. His numbers with PSG in early 2025 are undeniable and are on the same level as those achieved by Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

No one has scored more goals than Dembélé in 2025

Last night, in PSG's victory over Olympique Lyon (2-3), Dembélé scored his 24th goal of the season. It is, by far, the best season of his career since debuting with Stade Rennes. And he has achieved this thanks to impressive stats in 2025.

In the 11 matches Dembélé has played with PSG since the start of the year, he has managed to score 16 goals across all competitions. No other player has scored more goals in the five major European leagues during this time frame. Mbappé (Real Madrid) has scored 14, Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund) 11, and Retegui (Atalanta) 10.

Will Dembélé surpass Messi?

To date, the player who had scored the most goals between January and February in a season during the 21st century was Leo Messi with a total of 17. The second was Cristiano Ronaldo with 16. These numbers have already been matched by Dembélé, who could surpass Messi's tally if he scores in the Coupe de France against Stade Briochin before the month ends.

The big question with Dembélé is whether he will be able to maintain these impressive numbers he's achieving with PSG in 2025. But if he does, it will be another reason to think that this PSG could win its first Champions League.
