Dro Fernández hails Dembélé as PSG downs Slovan

Dro Fernández stood out as PSG rolled past Slovan Bratislava 6-1 on Wednesday in the Champions League. According to L’Équipe, it was his best performance since joining, delivering direct returns with two goals and two assists. The Spanish midfielder also started for the first time in Europe’s top competition with PSG, and he showed plenty of energy and creativity.

Best game since arriving

At the end of the match, as reported by L’Équipe, the 18-year-old looked back with a bit of regret for not scoring on a key moment—specifically an action in the 89th minute—but his main takeaway was the impact of a teammate: Ousmane Dembélé.

The message on Dembélé

Dro Fernández’s praise for the Ballon d’Or winner was clear. In the mixed zone, L’Équipe quotes him saying: “Ousmane is an incredible player… one of the best I’ve played with so far.” He then went even further: “C’est un joueur unique”.

When asked about the future Ballon d’Or, he kept it team-first, L’Équipe adds: he hopes the award goes to someone from PSG because “they deserve it.” With a night like this—personal numbers and a glowing endorsement for Dembélé—PSG’s Champions League momentum only looks stronger.
