14 hours agoPSG chief: Dembele 'deserves' Ballon d'Or win
Ousmane Dembélé deserves the men's Ballon d'Or after leading PSG to a Ligue 1, Coupe de France and Champions League treble.
Dembele played a starring role under Luis Enrique as PSG lifted their first Champions League crown, while the Parisiens also won Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France. The Frenchman recorded 46 goal involvements (33 goals, 13 assists) across all competitions in 2024-25, before netting twice en route to the Club World Cup final in the summer. Indeed, only Mohamed Salah (57), Raphinha (56) and Harry Kane (53) managed more, with Mbappe matching Dembele's total after a stellar first season at Real Madrid.
