Ousmane Dembele won the title of Best Player in the Aston Villa vs PSG match (Instagram/@champioinsleague).

JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player, Ousmane Dembele, became a conversation on social media because of his attitude in rejecting the trophy as the best player.

This happened after the Aston Villa vs PSG match in the second leg of the 2024/2025 Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, early morning WIB.

In that match, Dembele's performance was not very special. His performance is still not more stunning than his team-mate, Gianluigi Donnarumma, who made three important saves.

While appearing in this second leg, PSG also lost. They lost to Aston Villa who could make a comeback with a 3-2 victory after previously trailing 0-2.

Reporting from Metro, after the UEFA panelist team match decided that the title of the best player was actually given to Dembele. During the photo session with the Champions League's best player trophy, the player's expression also did not look happy.

After that, Dembele even chose to leave the trophy. He also seemed to walk quickly to the dressing aisle when he was presented with the trophy addressed to him.

Dembele's attitude then provoked attention and various responses from football lovers.

However, despite what happened after the match. Dembele also recorded a contribution to PSG's second goal by Nuno Mendes in the 27th minute.

Prior to that, Achraf Hakimi opened the visitors' advantage when the game had only been running for 11 minutes. However, Villa were able to reverse the score to 3-2 through the kicks of Youri Tielemans (34'), John McGinn (55'), and Ezri Konsa (57').

Villa's efforts to score additional goals were fruitless because Donnarumma played impressively under the bar. The result saw PSG qualify for the Champions League semifinals thanks to a 5-4 aggregate advantage from two meetings.

You see, in the first leg at the Parc des Princes, PSG managed 3-0 in the middle of last week.
