Dembele emphasized the need for PSG to remain focused in crucial matches after nearly squandering a comfortable lead and facing a tough challenge from Villa.
Leading 3-1 from the first leg, PSG extended their advantage to 2-0 in the second leg before allowing Villa to narrow the gap with goals from Tielemans, McGinn, and Konsa. Dembele admitted PSG underestimated their opponents and relaxed prematurely, highlighting the importance of maintaining intensity throughout the game. Despite the shaky performance, PSG's progression to the semi-finals sets up a potential clash with the winner of the Arsenal-Real Madrid tie. Dembele stressed the team's commitment to continuous improvement and determination to secure their first Champions League title.
