PSG lived a dream evening on Saturday. By spouting Inter Milan in Munich (5-0), the capital's club won the first Champions League in its history and dazzled football fans. Only (all) little false note, Ousmane Dembélé did not score, which could count in the eyes of certain journalists invited to designated the Ballon d'Or.
The tricolor world champion, author of two assists and a brilliant heel on the second goal of Désiré Doué, nevertheless delivered a brilliant performance and his defensive investment deserves a Ballon d'Or, in the eyes of Luis Enrique. Like the Spanish technician, some Parisian players have not hesitated since Saturday to claim the Ballon d'Or for their teammate. This was the case of Marquinhos during the celebrations on Sunday, but also of Lucas Hernandez in an interview with The team.
“He was above the lot this season with us. He scored a lot of goals, he has made differences, but that is not what to remember from his year. You have to see the way in which he has always helped the collective, how he defended in the enemy meters, how he pressed high to take everyone with him. It is for all this that he deserves to win the trophy ”, he said.
“Talking about the Ballon d'Or while the Cup is still hot …”
But this lobbying campaign in favor of the former Rennais goes wrong with some and in particular Christophe Dugarry.
“The Ballon d'Or, I don't interest me, I find it ridiculous. This lobbying made by clubs, it feels like we are at the Souk. All that PSG has succeeded is a flawless ”,
he said to the RMC microphone.
“PSG has shone by its collective, this is what must be put forward. Talking about the Ballon d'Or while the Cup is still hot … But, leave it to Real Madrid, leaves others with this kind of zero thing that is just used to have followers and to sell three more jerseys, he continued. Do not participate in this thing, be elegant, be above that. Talk about your collective. Do not come back to an individualized thing. »»
