D -day! The prestigious Ballon d'Or 2025 will be awarded this Monday evening at the Châtelet Theater, in Paris. Among the main pretenders, Ousmane Dembélé goes widely favorite after an exceptional season with PSG, marked by a historic quadruple (Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Champions Trophy and Champions League).
However, the Parisian has a serious competitor for this trophy. This is Lamine Yamal. The nugget of FC Barcelona and La Roja impressed the world of football by its early talent and its sparkling performances, to the point of being considered the best player of the moment by many experts.
This is in particular the opinion of Jordi Marti Grau. The editor -in -chief of the Cadena Ser spoke on the allocation of the trophy, and his speech sums up the current dilemma. For him, Yamal is today the most talented footballer in the world. But that does not necessarily mean that it must be sacred.
“It's Dembélé”
“You are asking me at the moment which is the best footballer in the world, I'm telling you Lamine Yamal. On the other hand, if you reward the one who won titles, which was decisive, then this footballer was offset. This season, he really fulfilled all the criteria of a winner in the Ballon d'Or »he said in an interview with Telefoot.
Thus, despite the meteoric ascent of Yamal, it is indeed Dembélé which seems to hold the rope to succeed Rodri winner in 2024. The looks will therefore be turned to Paris this evening, where France hopes to celebrate a new blue-white-red golden ball.
