Ousmane Dembele scored a brilliant goal against Barcelona in Wednesday's Champion League quarterfinal encounter, but it wasn't enough as Paris Saint-Germain succumbed to a 3-2 first-leg defeat at the Parc des Princes.
After a clever maneuver to create space in the penalty box, Dembele lined up his shot and unleashed a powerful strike into the roof of the net despite falling to the ground after losing his footing.
