In the latest chapter to the ongoing saga of French football, Dembele scored three goals for his country at the Euros this weekend.
The winger has been in fine form for Barcelona, but his performances have not always translated into international success. However, he showed that he is capable of making a difference when it matters most as he scored all three of France's goals against Germany on Sunday.
The first goal came in the 44th minute of the match and was a well-worked team effort, with Dembele scoring from close range after a through ball from Giroud. The second goal came in the 77th minute, also thanks to a team effort, with Dembele again finding the back of the net after a cross from Mbappe. And finally, in the 90th minute, Dembele sealed the win with a stunning strike from outside the box.
For France, this victory was crucial as they moved up to third place in Group D. They now face Belgium next, who are currently top of the group. A win would put them in pole position to reach the quarter-finals, while a loss could see them miss out altogether.
Despite the result, there were some positives to take away from the game. For example, Mbappe continued his impressive form, scoring twice and creating several chances for himself and others. Meanwhile, Griezmann also had a good game, providing some much-needed creativity and attacking threat.
Overall, it was a solid performance from France, and one that will give them confidence heading into their final group stage match. With a win over Belgium, they can certainly still make it to the knockout stages of the tournament, despite being eliminated by Spain earlier in the competition.
