Dembele Tenang Keluar, Vinicius dan Mbappé Gairah Terlihat

On 07 Mei 2024, during the second‑leg semi‑final of the Champions League between Bayern Munich and PSG, Ousmane Dembele was pulled from the field by coach Luis Enrique. The substitution came at the 65th minute and was immediately followed by the arrival of Barcola on the bench.

Ousmane Dembele walked calmly to the sideline, did not complain, and saluted Luis Enrique before greeting the coaching staff. He then sat quietly on the bench, a gesture that drew praise from football fans online.

Unlike the drama that has surrounded other stars, Ousmane Dembele’s composure was highlighted by netizens, who compared his conduct to that of Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe.

Vinicius Jr, who plays for Real Madrid this season, has often voiced frustration when substituted. He even shouted “saya lagi?” after being taken off, a moment that was widely shared on social media.

Under Xabi Alonso, Vinicius Jr was frequently replaced by Rodrygo, a decision that the player reportedly did not appreciate because it denied him a full match.

Mbappe’s own history of heated moments includes a viral incident at PSG under Thomas Tuchel, where he argued with the coach and made disrespectful gestures after a substitution.

These episodes made Vinicius Jr and Mbappe subjects of ridicule, while many fans argued that Ousmane Dembele’s respectful attitude explains why he has been awarded the Ballon d’Or.

In short, the calm exit of Ousmane Dembele during a high‑stakes match stands in contrast to the more volatile reactions seen from his peers.
