Bastoni on Dembélé: 'I'm the last person you should ask'
Alessandro Bastoni, the Inter Milan centre-back, was asked about Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembélé and responded with a light-hearted dismissal, saying he is 'the last person you should ask.' The exchange, captured on video, comes amid ongoing discussion around Dembélé's form and likely in the context of a high-profile fixture between Inter and PSG, or broader Ballon d'Or conversation given Dembélé's standout season. Bastoni's tone suggests a playful rivalry rather than any concrete tactical or competitive angle.

Bastoni's playful refusal to weigh in on Dembélé hints at a respect between two players who don't directly share a duel, and the clip is the kind of pre-match theatre that football fans — and the clubs' media teams — love to share. With Dembélé enjoying a season that has put him in the conversation for top individual honours, the optics of an opposing defender dodging the question only add to the narrative weight around the tie.
