World Cup Fans Label Dembele ‘Most Useless Ballon d’Or’ as Mbappé Stars in France’s Win
France secured a 3-1 victory over Senegal in their World Cup opener, but the spotlight shifted from the scoreline to Ousmane Dembélé’s subdued display. Playing as a central CAM, he recorded no shots on target, failed to complete a single dribble and created zero chances before being substituted in the 80th minute. Supporters contrasted his quiet night with Kylian Mbappé’s match-winning brace, hailing the France captain for decisive goals that once again underscored his status in the game. Social media reactions quickly spread, with one viral clip branding Dembélé “the most useless Ballon d’Or ever.” The debate over whether Dembélé merits his recent Ballon d’Or crown is intensifying, especially as Mbappé’s World Cup performances continue to make headlines.
