The seventy-ninth edition of the Ballon d'Or will take place on September 22. If two favorites always stand out from the lot, the global uncertainty remains in order. On August 7, the list of thirty nominees was published and did not reserve a surprise. So who of Lamine Yamal or Ousmane Dembélé, even Achraf Hakimi, will be sacred in 2025? Mystery. In the meantime, “Dembouz” has elected its best golden ball of all time.
The tricolor international of Paris Saint-Germain has participated in a small game offered by France Football During an interview carried out just after the victory in the Champions League final against Inter Milan on May 31 (5-0). A video relayed this Thursday by the site the team. Two players were offered at the start, namely Kaka and Luka Modric. He chose the Brazilian. Several other players were then presented in Ousmane Dembélé.
And thread by needle, he ended up with a final choice to make between the inevitable Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Between the fivefold and the octuple victorious of the coveted individual reward, it was the Argentinian who had the last favors of French.
Ousmane Dembélé must still wait
In a month and a week, Ousmane Dembélé will know if his name will also be part of the list of winners of the Ballon d'Or. If he leaves with a small advance on the competition, nothing still ensures him at this stage to be sacred and to be the one who will raise the trophy on the stage of the Théâtre du Châtelet.
Winner of the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday against Tottenham (2-2, 4 tab at 3), he in any case added a new line to his record and perhaps given the desire to vote for him. The outcome is approaching but in the meantime, the suspense remains.
