Dembele pays tribute to Jota

Ousmane Dembele made his mark not only with the decisive goal that helped PSG beat Bayern Munich 2-0 in the Club World Cup quarter-finals, but also with an emotional act for the late player Diogo Jota.

PSG beat Bayern with 9 men. Early morning on July 6, PSG defeated Bayern 2-0 in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Despite never playing together, Dembele still paid tribute to the Liverpool star who passed away in a tragic accident in Zamora on July 3. After scoring in injury time in the early morning of July 6, the French striker sat down on the pitch and made a hand gesture simulating a game - a familiar celebration that Jota often used after each goal.

The moment quickly went viral on social media, and was considered one of the most touching images of the quarter-finals. According to the revelation, before the match, Dembele had discussed with his Portuguese teammates at PSG including Nuno Mendes, João Neves, Vitinha and Gonçalo Ramos - who had worked with Jota in the national team - to perform this special tribute.

Not only a victory on the field, Dembele's actions are also a reminder that football always goes beyond the boundaries of shirt colors, when humanity and respect for colleagues are always put first.
