Kylian reposted a PSG announcement congratulating Dembélé, adding his own message: “Ousmane Dembélé. This is pure emotion, my brother! You deserved it x1000 ❤️❤️❤️ @o.dembele7”.

Mbappé and Dembélé have played together for the French national team, winning the 2018 World Cup. They also played at PSG until Kylian’s transfer to Real Madrid.
