PSG have never won the Champions League and are competing in just their second ever final.
Dembele has been in superb form this season, bagging 33 goals across 48 games.
The 28-year-old took on a bet with childhood friend Moustapha Diatta – a luxury watchmaker – before the season kicked off.
French journalist Julien Laurens told the MOTD podcast: “Ousmane Dembele’s best friend Moustapha owns a watch shop.
“They made a bet at the start of the season that if Dembele scores 30 goals, he can go to the shop and choose whatever watch he wants as a gift.
“For a long time that looked impossible.
“He’s never got to 30 goals in any season in his career.”
Dembele managed to achieve the feat with a remarkable effort in the second of the season, passing the milestone in March against Marseille.

And he went “double or quits” with his good friend ahead of Saturday’s showdown in Munich.
Laurens continued: “Dembele is a player.
“He went for doubles or quits. If PSG win in the Champions League final and he scores, he gets four watches, not two.
“So Ousmane, it’s your time.”
In a recent interview with The Athletic, Moustapha revealed the childhood friends met at the age of 5.
And he was always convinced the former Barca winger would be a success.
Moustapha told the outlet: “The days often revolved around football.
“We’d have kickabouts with friends at the foot of our building or we’d challenge a team from another neighbourhood to a game.
“Ousmane always had a ball with him. And he had a gift. He could already shoot with both feet and his dribbling was instinctive.
“The results were pretty incredible.”
