Mbappé x Dembélé: legendary, unbeatable World Cup duo 🐐🐐 | OneFootball

A duo, that’s scary.

The France team has reached the World Cup semi-finals for a third straight edition after qualifying against Morocco (2-0) this Thursday evening.

2018, 2022 and 2026: three times in a row in the last four... and maybe three straight finals too!

The only players present in 2018 and 2022, Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé therefore share a completely absurd statistic: they have quite simply never been eliminated from a World Cup in their careers.

Simple, basic. You just don’t knock out Kyks and Ous’ at the World Cup.

Even more impressively, with eight goals scored since the start of this World Cup for the Madrid man and five goals for the Parisian, the Mbappé x Dembélé duo has become the first pair with at least five goals scored by each player in the same World Cup edition since Ronaldo x Rivaldo in 2002.

We remember the birth of this bromance, in June 2017, at the Stade de France, against England.

Nine years later, they have become world champions, European champions; they are unbeaten at the World Cup and legends of the France team; Ballon d’Or and top European scorer... 

The emotions.
