This man on the left crying while watching Dembele being crowned as the finest footballer on the planet isn’t Dembele‘s bother, this man isn’t in any way a blood relative to Dembele
This man is Moustapha Diatta, Dembele‘s childhood friend, whom he played with in the youth categories in France but never made it to professional level like Dembele
This is just a true friend who believed in Dembele and supported him all through during the dark times and couldn’t hide his emotions when he saw his best friend being announced as the very best in the world
Ousmane Dembele:
"To Moustapha, with whom l've been together since we were 4 or 5 years old. He's always been there for me, always supported me. He always told me that one day I would be the best in the world. And we'll always be together."
