PSG striker Ousmane Dembele ignites Ligue 1 with Golden Boot triumph

The Paris Saint-Germain forward's explosive campaign marks his first time claiming the prestigious award, cementing his status as one of France's elite talents.

Dembele, 28, showcased relentless attacking prowess, scoring 21 times in 29 league matches. His clinical finishing outshone Rennes' Arnaud Kalimuendo, who finished third with 17 goals. "This is a dream come true," Dembele said after the final matchday. "The team's support and the fans' energy pushed me to give everything."

The achievement adds to an already glittering season for the Parisian No.10, who was named Ligue 1 Player of the Season just days earlier.

Paris Saint-Germain have now seen their players claim the top scorer title 16 times, a streak unbroken since 2015-16. "Ousmane's work rate and flair have been phenomenal," PSG coach Luis Enrique said. "He's delivered when it mattered most."

Greenwood's equally impressive tally for Marseille sparked debate among fans on X, with some praising Dembele's efficiency. Marseille, however, celebrated their star's contribution, with a club statement on X declaring, "Mason's 21 goals have lit up Ligue 1. We're proud of his fight."

Dembele's journey to the top wasn't without challenges. A minor hamstring injury briefly sidelined him during the Champions League semi-finals, but his return fueled PSG's charge to the final.

For PSG, the top scorer crown is another milestone in a dominant season that saw them secure their 13th Ligue 1 title. As Dembele basks in his individual glory, fans are already buzzing about what the dynamic forward will deliver next.
