PARIS (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé has won Ligue 1's player of the season award for the second straight year. Dembélé won the award late Monday night as a PSG player claimed it for the 10th straight time. Kylian Mbappé won five in a row before joining Real Madrid. Alexandre Lacazette was the last non-PSG player to win it when playing for Lyon in 2015. The prize was not awarded during the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 campaign. Dembélé starred in PSG's league title win last season with 21 goals and went on to win the Ballon d'Or, but has had less of an impact this campaign because of injuries. He has 10 goals and coach Luis Enrique has used him more sparingly, starting him in only nine league games. Dembélé's performances have arguably been more impactful in the Champions League, with PSG aiming for a second straight title after beating Bayern Munich in the semifinals. Dembélé’s early goal in the return leg earned PSG a 1-1 draw and put it through 6-5 on aggregate. PSG plays Premier League leader Arsenal in the final on May 30.
