Former Paris Saint-Germain teammates Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele have reached a milestone that another national team duo has also achieved.
Mbappe scored this weekend for Real Madrid, recording a brace against Villarreal in the 2-1 win. Meanwhile, Dembele scored the opening goal in the 3-1 win over Olympique de Marseille.

Moreover, Mbappe and Dembele have each scored 30 goals, making them the first pair of national team teammates to do so in over five years.
