The 2024-2025 season is coming to an end with the coronation of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. An important coronation for the Parisian club, which wins the first European star in its history, but also for one of its players who could be crowned Ballon d'Or in a few months.
Indeed, in the absence of a major world cup and continental competition, the C1 seems to be the one that will determine Rodri's successor. And if there is a Parisian player who seems to be a favorite, it is Ousmane Dembélé. Author of 33 goals and 15 assists this season, including 8 goals and 6 assists in the Champions League, the French has become one of the serious candidates for the Ballon d'Or.
But although he is favorite, Ousmane Dembélé is not the only one who can claim this distinction. The two Barcelonans Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, or Mohamed Salah, are also mentioned.
Rabiot votes for the Ballon d'Or
Asked about the subject, the former Parisian and current OM player, Adrien Rabiot, appointed his winner. And for him, there is no doubt, his teammate in the French team, Ousmane Dembélé, must win the Ballon d'Or.
“For me, Dembélé merit, having won the Champions League, with a decisive role in the field constantly”, he says in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport. As a reminder, the name of the Ballon d'Or winner will be revealed on September 22
