Simon went as far as ranking Dembele above Real Madrid-bound superstar Kylian Mbappe in terms of unpredictability, stating that Dembele's two-footed nature makes crossing and shooting from any angle an absolute nightmare for keepers.
The Spanish international concluded by hoping his defensive line can neutralize the French threat before they enter his penalty box, emphasizing that he prefers facing neither attacker in a one-on-one situation.
