Four years ago, it was Argentina who denied France back-to-back World Cup titles. Yet Dembélé admits that as long as Argentina has Messi, they will always be among the favorites in any tournament:
"Lionel Messi is the best footballer I have ever seen. Even at 38, he is still incredibly hard to stop. He is capable of winning the World Cup again." - Dembélé said.
