Dembélé Defends Mbappé, Says Criticism of Forward Is “Very Unfair”

France international Ousmane Dembélé has spoken out in support of his teammate Kylian Mbappé, insisting that the criticism directed at the forward has been “very unfair.”

Dembélé argued that Mbappé continues to be judged at an extremely high standard, despite consistently delivering strong performances for both club and country.

He noted that expectations placed on the striker often ignore the challenges of adapting, maintaining top form, and carrying heavy attacking responsibility in high-pressure matches.

The winger maintained that Mbappé remains one of the most decisive players in world football and should be judged more fairly based on his overall contribution rather than isolated performances.

The comments come amid ongoing debate among fans and analysts regarding Mbappé’s form and influence in recent games.
