Paris Saint-Germain winger Ousmane Dembele has responded to Kylian Mbappe's comments comparing their career paths, stating he has never been considered the "chosen one." Mbappe had suggested there was a difference in their perceived potential and fan expectations, saying "Dembele? He was always seen as a talented player. I, on the other hand, was always seen as the chosen one."
However, Dembele told Ligue 1+ that he has always worked hard and never received special treatment. He emphasized that last year's success with Paris Saint-Germain was a result of his dedication, and he remains unfazed by the pressure heading into the new season.
