France surprises in the match against Norway: Mbappé and Dembelé do not think about the Ballon d'Or

Yesterday afternoon at Gilette Stadium in Boston brought an amazing spectacle to the fans. The French national team, playing against a significantly weakened Norway, presented football at the highest level. The Norwegian team was missing key players such as Haaland and Odegaard, which the French took advantage of, presenting themselves at their best from the first minutes of the match. Both Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembelé, known for their performances in Paris Saint Germain and Real Madrid, played brilliantly. Although the media often speculates about the rivalry between them, both players have shown that their priority is the team's success, not their personal ambitions for the Ballon d'Or.  However, we cannot forget about other young talents in the French team, such as Doué, Olise, Barcola and Cherki, who equally contributed to yesterday's triumph. Their teamwork and skills may be reminiscent of Brazil's legendary performances under Tele Santana in 1982. The question of who will win the Ballon d'Or if France wins the World Cup remains open. Dembelé seems to be the favorite, but as Mbappé and Dembelé showed yesterday, what matters most to them is team play and the joy of football, which was clearly visible in their joint game, full of understanding and mutual support. --- ## Related Articles 1.
