Norway/France – Dembélé rightly named man of the match | OneFootball

After France’s 4-1 victory over Norway on Friday night in Matchday 3 of the 2026 World Cup (video highlights Norway/France), FIFA named the player of the match. Ousmane Dembélé, the 29-year-old forward for Paris Saint-Germain and Les Bleus, was the unsurprising choice.

Having scored a hat-trick, it was hard to think of anyone other than Dembélé. Even though there were other strong performances and goals are not everything. The PSG forward and 2025 Ballon d’Or winner clearly reminded everyone that he still has a role to play at the very highest level, while some had already written him off with Les Bleus because of a few less memorable displays.
