"Ousmane Dembele will be in attendance to receive the Ballon d'Or tonight without his Paris Saint-Germain team-mates. Dembele has been the favourite for the Ballon d'Or since leading PSG to a first-ever Champions League as one of the older heads in a younger squad and can become the sixth Frenchman to lift the award with a win tonight. But the forward ranked at no.3 in FourFourTwo's list of the best strikers in the world right now"
"After severe weather conditions led to the postponement of PSG's away trip to Marseille at the weekend, Luis Enrique's team will play the fixture tonight instead. Le Classique is among the biggest games in the Ligue 1 calendar and unfortunately clashes with France Football's glitzy do, but with Dembele nursing a knock picked up on international duty, the 28-year-old may still be around to collect the Golden Ball."
"Following the full list of 30 nominees for the men's award being revealed last month, only 11 clubs have been represented. But despite the likes of Achraf Hakimi, Desire Doue, Nunes Mendes, Joao Neves, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz also receiving nods for PSG's maiden European title, the French champions won't be present for the ceremony.

Ousmane Dembele will attend the Ballon d'Or ceremony to receive the award without most Paris Saint-Germain teammates. Dembele was the favourite after leading PSG to their first Champions League title and can become the sixth French Ballon d'Or winner. More former Barcelona teammates may be present than current PSG colleagues. Thirty nominees included players from only 11 clubs, and several PSG players were nominated. PSG will not attend the ceremony because a postponed away match at Marseille has been rescheduled for tonight. Dembele is managing a knock from international duty but may still collect the Golden Ball in person.
