Why Dembélé Ranks Among France's Best
Dembélé's value extends beyond his 4 goals:
- Width and dribbling — stretches defences so Mbappé can attack centrally
- Hat-trick vs Haiti — the standout individual performance of France's group stage
- Assists and chance creation — featured in multiple France goals not credited to him
France's attack pairs Dembélé's creativity with Mbappé's finishing — both scored in the 2–0 quarter-final win vs Morocco on 9 July. Les Bleus face Spain in M101 after La Roja beat Belgium 2–1 on 10 July.
