PSG Cruise Past Stuttgart 4-1 as Dembélé Shines with Hat-Trick
Paris Saint-Germain delivered a commanding performance to defeat Stuttgart 4-1 away from home in their final Champions League group stage match. The French champions, already assured of qualification, showed no signs of complacency as they dominated from start to finish.
Bradley Barcola opened the scoring early on, heading in from close range after clever play by Désiré Doué. PSG continued to press forward relentlessly, with Ousmane Dembélé doubling the lead after 20 minutes following another Barcola run.
Dembélé then took center stage, completing his hat-trick with two more well-taken goals either side of halftime. His clinical finishing was a stark contrast to his previous goal-shy performances this season.
Stuttgart managed a late consolation through Führich, but it did little to dampen PSG’s spirits. The Parisians’ eight goals in their last two European matches have silenced doubters and demonstrated they are hitting form at the perfect time.
Standout performers for PSG included:
- Ousmane Dembélé (9/10): Unstoppable with three goals and constant threat
- Bradley Barcola (8/10): Goal and assist, dynamic attacking presence
- João Neves (7/10): Controlled midfield and dictated play
With this emphatic victory, PSG have sent a clear message that they are serious contenders for Champions League glory this season.
