What works in Dembélé’s favor:
Raw Talent: He’s extremely two-footed, fast, and creative — a rare combo.
Top Club Exposure: Playing at PSG (and formerly Barcelona) gives him high-level experience and visibility.
Versatility: He can play across the front line and disrupt defenses in many ways.
But here’s the challenge:
Injuries: His career has been marred by repeated injuries, limiting consistency.
Lack of Ballon d'Or Trajectory: Messi and Ronaldo built legendary legacies with insane stats, trophies, and consistency over 15+ years — Dembélé hasn't shown that level yet.
Others in Line: Players like Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, and Jude Bellingham are more likely heirs to that throne in terms of performance, marketing appeal, and consistency.
Conclusion: Dembélé could still be a world-class player and key figure for France and PSG, but replacing Messi and Ronaldo at the very top is a monumental ask.
