Norway/France – Dembélé's strong words after hat-trick and win | OneFootball

Ousmane Dembélé, the 29-year-old forward for Paris Saint-Germain and the French national team, was in the mixed zone on Friday evening after the 4-1 win over Norway (video highlights Norway/France) on Matchday 3 of the 2026 World Cup. The author of a hat-trick, he remained very calm and quickly turned his attention to the rest of the World Cup.

Dembélé: “I preferred my match against Senegal or against Ireland.”

A word on the hat-trick?

“I’m happy. It’s a unique and important moment for me. The performance was good. But I preferred my match against Senegal or against Ireland. I think I was much more influential, so we have to stay focused because important things are coming.

Also comfortable with Les Bleus?

I feel very good, whether on the pitch or with the team. The most important thing is to stay focused and think about the team.

Dembélé: “We have to stay focused and, above all, not get carried away.”

A step forward, but nothing accomplished yet?

Of course, as I said, the most important part is still to come. We have to stay focused and, above all, not get carried away.

Sweden?

It’s going to be difficult. It’s a round of 16 match, anything is possible. As I said, we’re going to stay focused on what’s coming next.
