The names of the 30 nominees at the next Ballon d'Or were released in the afternoon. As expected, the beautiful part returns to PSG, which places 9 players in this prestigious list: Ousmane Dembélé, Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, Désiré Doué, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Joao Neves, Nuno Mendes, Fabian Ruiz and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Of course, this is not a guarantee of success for this coveted trophy. All the same, Dembouz appears from the start as the best Parisian card to face Lamine Yamal.

The former Rennais had never been appointed before, but here he is already propelled among the two favorites. It must be said that his season was Dantesque with no less than 35 goals and 16 assists in 53 games in all competitions. Beyond the statistics, he became the star of a collective, the attacker who never reluctant to defend and the leader of a team that brought back 4 major trophies this season, including the Champions League after a masterful and already historic final.

The locker room did not like the promotion made for Dembélé

It is since this evening of Munich, moreover, that PSG is putting everything on its number 10, rather than another player in the workforce. “If Ousmane Dembélé does not win, there is a problemeven let go of Nasser al-Khelaifi on RMC In the middle of club World Cup, as if to better highlight this candidacy. Given the season he had, a magnificent season, no doubt that he must win the Ballon d'Or. If not, there is a problem. He did everything ”. This declaration did not necessarily have the expected effect. Not that she does not promote Dembélé but rather that she embarrassed in the locker room.

According to The teamat other candidates or applicants to be part of the list of 30, this sentence caused some jealousies. The former Barça lent himself to the play of media, putting himself further forward but he remains convinced that only the terrain will decide. But within the management, we have already felt an annoyance among some players of this promotion of Dembélé, to the detriment of others. Besides, The team reports an anecdote that took place just after the list announces. Al-Khelaïfi went to the locker room and estimated that “All PSG players deserved” The Ballon d'Or … There is a subject.
