  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The France international was asked about PSG's place in his club history, comparing it to Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona. While he called Messi the "greatest player of all time", he could not bring himself to say which team was better.

  WHAT DEMBELE SAID

  He told reporters: "I don't know if this PSG is the best team I've played for, because I played at Barça with Lionel Messi, who for me is the greatest player of all time. But it's one of the teams where I have the most fun."

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  During Dembele's spell at Barcelona (2017-2023), they won three La Liga titles and the Copa del Rey and Supercopa de Espana twice – but never won the Champions League. PSG are one of the favourites to become champions of Europe this season so perhaps this question should be asked at the end of the campaign.
