Ousmane Dembele Brings PSG's UCL Celebration To Roland Garros
Last Updated:
Dembele brought the UCL trophy out to the public at the French Open on Monday as he held it aloft for the crowd to marvel at.
PSG star Ousmane Dembele presented the UEFA Champions Trophy at the Roland Garros during the French Open 2025 on Monday following the Parisian giants' maiden elite continental title with their 5-0 rout of Inter Milan in the summit clash in Munich.
Dembele, the UCL player of the season, brought the trophy out to the public ahead of Novak Djokovic's match against Cameron Norrie and held it aloft for the French audience to marvel at as he proclaimed 'Ici c'est Paris!'. PSG President Nasser Al Khelaifi was also in attendance on the day.
Dembele played a crucial role in Luis Enrique's men clinching their first-ever UCL title with a rampant showing in the summit clash. Desire Doue starred with a brace, while Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu all also found the back of the net in an emphatic performance to give the Qatari-owned side their first-ever Champions League title.
PSG were welcomed by hordes of adoring fans on their return to the French Capital City amidst stringent security surrounding the parade as fans gathered at the Champs-Élysées to mark the historic occasion, after two people were reported dead and a police officer was put into an induced coma due to the wild celebrations PSG's win set off in France.
Serbian legend Novak Djokovic, who stepped onto the court following the presentation to pick up his 100th win at Roland Garros, made quick work of Brit Cameron Norrie in a straight-sets 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 victory.
Djokovic went on to applaud PSG's title-winning run at the most prestigious club event in Europe as he remarked, 'It was an incredible season for PSG, so congratulations to all the PSG fans and my friend Nasser."
'It was very important for the city to have PSG as a Champions League winner for the first time," the 24-time Grand Slam champions added.

Top-ranked Sabalenka plays in front of empty seats at French Open, calls for fairer scheduling
PARIS: Aryna Sabalenka is the top-ranked player in women's tennis. Yet even that status didn't spare her from competing in front of empty seats at Roland-Garros, something she says isn't fair. The three-time Grand Slam champion faced China's Zheng Qinwen in the first quarterfinal match on Tuesday, beginning at 11 a.m. on Court Philippe-Chatrier. When play began, large sections of the 15,000-seat stadium were still unoccupied — a common sight in the early hours at the French Open, when many ticket holders opt for lunch or arrive later in the day. 'It was a big match and probably would make more sense to put us a little bit later just so more people could watch it,' Sabalenka said after her 7-6 (3), 6-3 win. ' I definitely think that would make more sense to kind of like move our match for a little bit later.' But scheduling more night sessions for women is proving a tough issue to resolve for French Open tournament director Amélie Mauresmo. Since the introduction of night sessions in 2021, only four women's singles matches have been featured in that marquee time slot. Serena Williams played in the first-ever night match at Roland-Garros, but pandemic restrictions meant the stands were empty.
