The date of the ceremony is set for September 22. In the meantime, speculations continue to go well around the name of the Ballon d'Or 2025. Over the months and weeks, a trio of favorites ended up taking shape. If Ousmane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal appear a notch above the rest, Raphinha or Gianluigi Donnarumma remain credible outsiders. As for Mohamed Salah, he still believes in his chances.
But not everyone is of his opinion. While the Liverpool player assured that he is still a serious candidate for the supreme distinction, Olivier Rouyer said that the Egyptian was fooled by illusions. The former tricolor international said it in his own way on the team on Friday. With first a positive observation: “He is right to say it's his best season. This is the moment when never. »» Relaunched that Salah was distant by Dembélé and Lamine Yamal, the consultant agreed: “If there is no photo anyway. »»

Michel Platini's friend notably spoke of the two games of the Champions League’s eighth final between Liverpool and PSG: “He was transparent. »» For the observer, carrots have been cooked for a long time for Mohamed Salah, despite the latter's words. The race will be played between Ousmane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal who each still have capital deadlines in front of them.
Everything can still change
For the French international, there is the French Cup final this Saturday against the Stade de Reims. Then come the time of the Champions League final on May 31 against Inter Milan. A victory in C1, the first in the history of Paris Saint-Germain, would most likely consecrate Ousmane Dembélé. Unless the voters await another shock meeting: Spain-France, in the semi-final of the League of Nations (June 5).
The incredible opportunity to attend a direct duel between the two favorites of the Golden Ball 2025. If Lamine Yamal still dazzles the public from his talent and manages to get France out with Spanish Roja, could the classification of the Ballon d'Or still be turned upside down? It is up to everyone to get their opinion.
