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 gesture for the late player Diogo Jota.

PSG beat Bayern with 9 men. Early morning of 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 died in a tragic accident in Zamora on July 3. After scoring in stoppage time in the match on the 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 been with Jota in the national team - to perform this special tribute.

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