On Saturday evening, Ousmane Dembélé added a new line to his CV. Winner of the Coupe de France with his Paris Saint-Germain team, the Frenchman gave himself an asset more for his candidacy for the Ballon d'Or 2025. If he was not flamboyant in front of the Rémois, the fact remains of a trophy which could weigh at the time of the votes. Some are in any case already convinced that the case is in the bag.
While the trophy ceremony is scheduled for September 22, there are still a few deadlines likely to change everything. In direct competition with Lamine Yamal, Ousmane Dembélé is also aware of it and prefers to continue to look forward and aim always higher. This Sunday in the show
Telefoota subject was devoted to him and several people were questioned about the famous Ballon d'Or. For his teammate Vitinha, this is one thing understood: “If you ask me at the moment who deserves the Ballon d'Or, it is clear that it is him. »»
Same story on the side of PSG supporters.
“Since 2025, I have not seen something other than OUMEMANE DEMBÉLÉ”explained this first fan. “Ousmane Ballon d'Or, there is nothing left to say”chained a second who added with a smile: “Stop the votes. »» For his part, the first interested party has already been questioned about his chances of succeeding Rodri. A few weeks ago, he explained that he was much more focused on the overall results of his team rather than his own.
A golden ball always undecided
“I’m leaving a lot on that but as I repeat, when you are a PSG player, there is much more important than thinking about an individual title (…). Before I think of me, I have to think about the team and the club. »» Still, in a corner of his head, the former Stade Rennais must necessarily have an omnipresent little thought for this reward. He will continue his fight at a distance from Lamine Yamal and could take a hell of a step in advance if he was winning the Champions League on May 31 against Inter Milan.
He will then meet the iron with the blaugrana prodigy on June 5, as part of the semi-final of the League of Nations between Spain and France. It is most likely on this final match that the voters will lean definitively for him … or for Lamine Yamal. The votes have not yet been stopped. Far from it.
