Kylian Mbappé is said to have a very high regard for his friend Ousmane Dembélé, who he played alongside at the club last season.
Insufficient statistics, a faulty finish and an impression as confusing as it is frustrating: since his arrival at
Paris Saint Germain Coming from FC Barcelona a year ago, Ousmane Dembélé has not always been unanimous among observers.
Paris Saint Germain Coming from FC Barcelona a year ago, Ousmane Dembélé has not always been unanimous among observers.
However, the French world champion has retained Luis Enrique’s trust. The Asturian has always defended his player in his public statements. And Dembélé ended up returning the favor by showing himself to be more realistic during the last months of the competition, with decisive goals against Barcelona, in the first leg and the second leg, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, then against Olympique Lyonnais in the final of the Coupe de France. Above all, the Parisian winger remains a thrilling player capable of setting the Parc alight with an exceptional move.
Mbappé admires Dembélé
Placed in the best conditions by his coach, Ousmane Dembélé also had the full esteem of Kylian Mbappé. The two French world champions have a long-standing friendship. Accomplices in the French team, they also display their complicity under the jersey of the capital club. And if the former Barcelona player struggled to be effective, Kylian Mbappé did not hold it against him at all since the newspaper Le Parisien had specified a few months ago that the Bondy star would consider Dembélé as the best player with whom he played in his career.
The compliment makes a lot of sense, considering the great people that Mbappé has mixed with since his emergence, from Neymar to Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema, Antoine Griezmann, Marco Verratti, Edinson Cavani, Angel Di Maria, Paul Pogba, Bernardo Silva and Radamel Falcao.
