Ousmane Dembele says he is 'very relaxed' about winning a second Ballon d'Or. The PSG star said, 'Individual trophies come after. The most important thing is team titles.'

On Wednesday, in the rescheduled Ligue 1 Matchday 29 match, PSG won at Lens (0-2) for the 14th French league title in club history.

Facing its closest rival, PSG secured the French league title. In an entertaining match, the Parisians were clinical and won thanks to goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ibrahim Mbaye (0-2).

They could also count on Matvey Safonov having a big night, who stopped all of Lens' attacks with his eight saves. After PSG's impressive win at Lens, which secured the French league title, Ousmane Dembele spoke on beIN SPORTS 1.

First, Dembele, 28, wanted to acknowledge that the game against Lens was important, but not without remembering that the Parisian derby is also important, scheduled for next Sunday.

"We wanted to come and win here. As we said, we especially want to prepare for the final on May 30. We had to play a serious match. We have another one on Sunday. We are going to celebrate because it is official, we are champions."

Dembele also spoke about the possibility of winning the Ballon d'Or again, although he declared himself quite relaxed about it.

"Will we let loose a little bit? Yes, a little bit, but not too much, because we play again in three days. We will celebrate a little, but we will stay focused anyway. In contention for a second consecutive Ballon d'Or, how do I feel? Very relaxed. As I said, individual trophies, they come after. If it comes, that's good; if it doesn't come, that's how it is. The most important thing is the team titles. As I said, we won Ligue 1, the European Supercup, and the Intercontinental Cup. On May 30, we have something big for PSG fans. Applauded by the Lens crowd? It feels good, especially in a crowd like that, which is exceptional. We wish them good luck for the final."
