Author of a spectacular hat-trick against Norway, PSG star Ousmane Dembele reminded everyone why he won the Ballon d'Or. People are amazed to see that Kylian Mbappe and Dembele get along perfectly with France, despite a possible rivalry to come.

"Who will win the Ballon d'Or if France wins the World Cup? Mbappe and Dembele don't care." That quote does not come from an internal source in the French national team or from the entourage of the two players, but from an Italian journalist.

Like other European media outlets, TuttoMercato notes that while the French star of Real Madrid and the PSG star could engage in negative competition for the national team, the opposite is happening. In response to Mbappe's sensational start to the World Cup, Dembele responded by scoring against Iraq, but above all by scoring a sensational hat-trick against Norway.

Each time, the two star forwards of the French national team celebrated spontaneously, and it is certainly pleasing to see, except for France's future opponents in this World Cup.

For Andrea Losepio, an Italian journalist, all this is great news for the French national team, because Dembele and Mbappe are not engaged in a solitary race for the Ballon d'Or.

"When stars reach the top, as is the case for both of them, given that they are the emblematic figures of PSG and Real Madrid, the risk of conflict is always present. This was the case at PSG with Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe... Who will win the Ballon d'Or if France wins the World Cup? No one knows, even if Dembele is (once again) the big favorite. But judging by their interactions during the match, both verbal and non-verbal, Mbappe and Dembele seem to care very little about it."

For Elton Mokolo, it is clear that the two French stars do not care about the possible battle for the Ballon d'Or and that only victory in this World Cup motivates them.

"Dembele and Mbappe can coexist. This is their fifth match together this season. There is a rise in the power of these two players. In the group stage, Mbappe and Dembele have 4 goals each. We don't share, we are together," notes the consultant, who is delighted to see that France's interests come before those of each of the two Ballon d'Or candidates.

On Friday night, after France's victory, Mbappe did not forget to highlight the PSG striker on social media, the ultimate proof that unity is strength.
