Norway/France – Les Bleus rated in the press: exceptional Dembélé | OneFootball

As part of Matchday 3 of the 2026 World Cup, the France national team was at Gillette Stadium this Friday to face Norway and managed to win 1-4 (video highlights Norway/France). A match involving 5 Paris Saint-Germain players, all French: Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé. Here are the Bleus’ ratings in the press.

Le Parisien:

Mbappé (7.5)

Doué (6) – Olise (5) – Dembélé (9)

Koné (6) – Tchouaméni (6.5)

T. Hernandez (4) – Lacroix (6) – Upamecano (4.5) – Koundé (5)

Maignan (7)

L’Equipe:

Mbappé (7)

Doué (5) – Olise (5) – Dembélé (9)

Koné (7) – Tchouaméni (6)

T. Hernandez (4) – Lacroix (5) – Upamecano (4) – Koundé (4)

Maignan (7)

These ratings seem logical for a Bleus side that was overall superior in this match, even if the defense struggled at times against a reshuffled Norway team. There are still a few things to fine-tune. But the attacking potential is being confirmed, this time with Dembélé scoring a hat-trick.

Doué also got on the scoresheet, with the first headed goal of his career. That is very encouraging for what comes next. Especially with an Mbappé focused on the team. Of course, it will still need to be confirmed. That will come against Sweden on Tuesday night at 11 p.m. in the round of 16. An opponent that looks beatable, but one that will not be easy to handle.
