'Phenomenal' Dembele 'has no equal' – Luis Enrique
Ousmane Dembele has netted two hat-tricks in a row for Paris Saint-Germain, who are storming towards another Ligue 1 title.
Luis Enrique hailed free-scoring Ousmane Dembele as "phenomenal" after the forward netted another hat-trick for Paris Saint-Germain.
Having scored three times in PSG's 4-1 rout of Stuttgart in the Champions League on Wednesday, Dembele repeated the trick with another star turn in a 5-2 defeat of Brest in Ligue 1.
Dembele scored in the 29th, 57th and 62nd minutes on Saturday, before a late double from Goncalo Ramos rounded off an emphatic victory for PSG.
He became the first player in PSG's history to score hat-tricks in back-to-back competitive matches.
The former Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund attacker has now scored 14 league goals this season, which is his highest tally in a single campaign. Since the turn of the year, he has already netted 11 times in all competitions.
Speaking to beIN Sports, a delighted Luis Enrique said: "Ousmane can become the player he wants to be.
"If he remains confident in front of goal, he has no equal. He can score in any position, even with his head. He's a phenomenal player.
"I think it's wonderful when you have a player like Ousmane in such good form, and I think all the players put in a great performance."
Dembele played at the tip of PSG's attack, flanked by Bradley Barcola and new signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
"I'm well placed, I'm in the role of number nine and I have to score goals," Dembele said.
PSG remain unbeaten in Ligue 1 this season, and they will be hoping Saturday's match proves a good omen for their next meeting with Brest, which comes in the Champions League play-offs later this month.
"It was a match between two Champions League teams. And I think it was difficult, it's always difficult to play against Brest," Luis Enrique added.
"They put in a lot of crosses and are often dangerous. But we're very happy because we played a good game. We still have some work to do, but we're happy."
