The last Odoxa survey for RTL and Winamax Confirms the immense coast of Ousmane Dembélé before the delivery of the Ballon d'Or 2025, scheduled for Monday September 22 at the Châtelet Theater. With its exceptional season with PSG (Champions League, European Super Cup, 29 goals in 44 games), the Parisian number 10 collected 26 %of the intentions of the French, ahead of Kylian Mbappé (22 %) and Lamine Yamal (9 %). Among football enthusiasts, the plebiscite is even clearer: 38 % believe that Dembélé deserves the Ballon d'Or, against 14 % for Mbappé and 13 % for Yamal.

The survey also reveals a contrasting perception of the reward. If 76 % of football lovers consider the Ballon d'Or as the most prestigious individual distinction, 64 % criticize him for encouraging individual play to the detriment of the collective. As for Dembélé, it benefits from a very positive image: 81 % of respondents find it sympathetic, 80 % worker and 74 % humble. For 38 % of amateurs, not to see him sacred would also be an “injustice”.
