Golden ball, Ronaldinho will decide!
The Barcelona legend Ronaldinho would put the Ballon d'Or 2025 in Paris on Monday evening, while Ooumane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal compete for the most prestigious individual reward in football.

Dembélé is expected as the favorite after playing a key role in the historic triplet of Paris Saint-Germain last season.

Ronaldinho will put the Ballon d'Or

According to Cadena Cope, the Barcelona legend and 2005 Golden Ballon, Ronaldinho, is expected to put the Ballon d'Or in Paris on Monday evening. In addition, the former Barça Dembélé star and the feeling of Camp Nou Yamal are considered the two favorites for this year's price.

Ronaldinho replaced a former Barça star

Mundo Deportivo claims that another former Barça player, Hristo Stoichkov, award winner in 1994, was initially chosen to put it back. Stoichkov had publicly announced that he would give the prize, but Ronaldinho was chosen as the main guest of the ceremony in Paris.

Kylian Mbappé, Pedri and Robert Lewandowski are among the stars who will probably not be present in Paris to attend the Golden Ball ceremony. Real Madrid star Mbappé publicly said that he would watch the ceremony on television, while supporting the victory of his compatriot Dembélé. The Barcelona duo Pedro and Lewandowski, on the other hand, will not participate in the event, because they would not be in the running for the price.
