‘We want to win every game’ – Ousmane Dembélé reacts after 2026 World Cup hat-trick heroics against Norway

France striker Ousmane Dembélé (29) has led Les Bleus to the top spot of the 2026 World Cup’s Group I in completing a first-half hat-trick against Norway. Dembélé’s PSG teammate, Désiré Doué, scored France’s fourth goal deep in injury-time. Speaking to M6, the Ballon d’Or winner has kept a low-key stance, highlighting that the business end of the knockout stage is about to start for the 2022 World Cup runners-up. “We have to stay focused, it was an important game to finish top of the group. We want to win every game, and what is to come is even more important.“

Dembélé has also praised his teammates up front for France, including Kylian Mbappé, who remained in the World Cup spotlight in bagging a brace of assists. “It’s important, communication is key”, Dembélé adds. “It’s way easier, we understand each other way more. It’s positive, we have to carry on.” Defenders beware.
