French forward Ousmane Dembélé has written his name into football history, claiming the 2025 Ballon d’Or after a stunning campaign with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Career-Defining Achievement
At 28, Dembélé finally silenced critics by capturing the prestigious honor following a season where he scored 35 times and assisted 16 more. His individual brilliance was pivotal as PSG won the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League for the first time, in addition to retaining their Ligue 1 crown and Coupe de France.
Surpassing Tough Rivals
The Ballon d’Or, presented in Paris on Monday evening, saw Dembélé finish ahead of several football heavyweights, including Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal. His success comes after years marked by injuries and setbacks, making the achievement even more remarkable.
PSG’s Year of Glory
The Parisian club’s dominance was also recognized globally, with PSG named the Best Team of the Year at the Ballon d’Or gala, a testament to their supremacy on the European stage.
