Five forward duos who could initiate a classic rivalry in the near future

#1 Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele

The future of French football is secure. This man in the wing is a big and swift threat. He is also a hungry scorer.

They are two people from the same country and they play in the same position. Ousmane and Kylian are two of the biggest gifts that France has in their possession. While Mbappe set Russia alight in the World Cup, Dembele has improved immensely from last season in LaLiga. Both are World Cup winners at such a young age.

Mbappe's marauding runs through the wings are dangerous in starting a counter. Dembele doesn't necessarily need a distorted defense to unleash his pace, he does it instantaneously. Mbappe is just a great finisher as well, so is Ousmane. He can shoot well with both legs and could be Barcelona's most improved player this season. Both players can keep possession with them and score stunning goals.

Unlike his French teammate, he had to face a lot of criticism. But now his football shuts up the critics on a weekly basis.

Dembele has already scored some important and memorable ones for Barcelona this season, including his classic Dembouz fade against Spurs. In just 15 games, Mbappe has got 18 goals and 6 assists. Dembele has 8 goals and 3 assists in 19 league games. When it comes to goalscoring, Mbappe is better. When it comes to creating chances and dribbling Dembele is better. Both have blistering pace.

If we look at pace, dribbling, and scoring, both are like Messi and Ronaldo. Both the legends are good goalscorers but Messi is a much better dribbler and creator. Both almost possess the same amount of pace. If Mbappe ends up at Madrid, which he probably would, then this will be one to watch. The Ousmane-Kylian era is next.
