Have the semi-finals of the Champions League made it possible to set off the situation in the 2025 Golden Ball race? Many think. By eliminating Arsenal and FC Barcelona respectively, PSG and Inter Milan undeniably allowed their two star players, Ousmane Dembélé and Lautaro Martinez, to score points.
In this operation, the big losers are mainly in the Blaugranas ranks. Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Pedri or Robert Lewandowski, who are regularly announced among the major favorites to the prestigious trophy awarded each year by writing France Footballindeed lost big on the way out against the Nerazzurri.
Good news for the Parisian striker, who has already won Ligue 1 and will soon compete in the French Cup final. However, “Dembouz” is still not seen as the future winner by Score90. In his latest “Power Ranking” in May, the British media increases the French international of a place but it is only second!
Golden Ball, Dembélé still not favorite
At this stage of the season, it is Lamine Yamal who is seen as the main candidate in the Ballon d'Or 2025, the Top 5 being completed by his teammates Raphinha and Pedri as well as by the star of Liverpool, Mohamed Salah. The double liga-cup of the king that has just achieved by Barça obviously weighs in the balance, but things can change.
In the event of a victory of Paris Saint-Germain against Inter Milan, on May 31 in Munich, a potential coronation of Ousmane Dembélé will be difficult to dispute. Especially if the red and blue raise the French Cup at the expense of Reims by then. The old Rennais, who displays incredible individual statistics, would have won everything collectively.
