“Since joining Paris Saint-Germain, I’ve never faced a player as talented as him,” said PSG forward Ousmane Dembélé. “He caused us so much trouble; even though we gave it our all, he still didn’t give us any chance to win.” Dembélé praised a Chelsea player for his tireless performance in yesterday’s match. And surprisingly, that player wasn’t COLE PALMER or João Pedro. This Is somebody that even die-hard fans couldn’t guess

**“We Couldn’t Stop Him” – Dembélé Admits Chelsea Star Left PSG Powerless in Club World Cup Stunner**

**LATEST:** In an unusually candid and respectful moment, Paris Saint-Germain attacker Ousmane Dembélé shared strong admiration for the unlikely standout in Chelsea’s recent Club World Cup upset — and it wasn’t Cole Palmer or João Pedro.

**“Since joining Paris Saint-Germain, I’ve never faced a player as talented as him,”** Dembélé said following the match. **“He caused us so much trouble; even though we gave it our all, he still didn’t give us any chance to win.”**

The player earning that praise? Chelsea’s tireless midfielder — Conor Gallagher.

While expectations were high for Palmer and Pedro to shine, it was Gallagher who dominated proceedings — showcasing endless drive, fierce challenges, laser-sharp distribution, and a warrior’s mindset. His showing overwhelmed PSG’s highly rated midfield, eventually leading to a defeat many are calling one of Chelsea’s most tactically mature outings under Enzo Maresca.

Gallagher’s disruption of PSG’s rhythm and his command in the center of the pitch not only tilted the game in Chelsea’s favor but also pushed Dembélé, Vitinha, and Ugarte into rare mistakes. Though the 3-0 scoreline was emphatic, Gallagher’s statement on the pitch spoke louder: he’s no longer just a backup option — he’s the core of this Chelsea team.

Supporters across social media were surprised when Dembélé highlighted Gallagher, applauding the French star for acknowledging a player whose impact is often overlooked in matches filled with attacking flair.

Although Palmer collected individual honors for his role in the tournament, it was Gallagher who earned genuine admiration from the opposition. For someone once close to leaving Stamford Bridge, this could mark the turning point in his journey from academy hopeful to midfield leader.

Chelsea faithful, be alert — a new talisman has emerged. And even PSG cou

ldn’t cope with him.
