Former England striker Alan Shearer highlighted Ousmane Dembele’s missed opportunities as a factor in France’s Euro 2024 semi-final defeat to Spain.
Speaking on BBC after the 2-1 loss, Shearer focused on Dembele’s role in France’s attack: “Dembele had several good chances to score for France, and some might argue he could have done better with his deliveries into the box.”
Shearer elaborated on the missed opportunities: “It can be frustrating when attackers consistently fail to capitalize on scoring chances, especially when teammates are providing good service.”
This revision avoids accusatory language (“guilty”) and focuses on Shearer’s observations about Dembele’s performance and its potential impact on the game.
