He seemed to suggest that there was a difference in their perceived ceilings and the expectations from fans.

However, in response, Dembele told Ligue 1+: “I’ve always been at the back of the class, working hard.
“Throughout my career, I haven’t said a word, I’ve worked incredibly hard.
“As I said, I’ve never been the chosen one, but I worked hard, and last year I was rewarded with a fantastic year with Paris Saint-Germain. And this year, we’ll see how it goes, no pressure, just taking it easy.”
