Robin van Persie on Ousmane Dembélé recreating Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's celebration after his hat-trick against Norway: 🗣️ “That celebration gave me goosebumps. It wasn't just about scoring three goals it was about showing respect to someone who has inspired you. Football is always at its most beautiful when great players honour one another.” “Anyone can celebrate a hat-trick, but not everyone chooses to share that moment with another footballer. That tells you everything about Dembélé's character. In a sport driven by egos, he reminded us that respect still exists.” “I've always believed football is built on emotion, and tonight we saw exactly that. Millions will remember the three goals, but many will also remember the celebration because it carried a message far bigger than the scoreline.” “Moments like these are why people fall in love with football. Rivalries come and go, trophies are won and lost, but genuine respect between elite players creates memories that stay with supporters forever.” “Dembélé didn't just leave the pitch with a hat-trick—he left it having shown the entire football world that greatness isn't only measured by goals. Sometimes it's measured by the respect you show others when the spotlight belongs entirely to you.”
