Now a week ago, Ousmane Dembélé has become the sixth French footballer in history to win the Ballon d'Or. The Paris Saint-Germain player came at the top of the ranking, fairly largely in front of Lamine Yamal.
Indeed, with 1,380 points, the French international has 321 units more than the Spanish prodigy. However, for the next edition, it is the native of Esplugues de Llobregat who leaves favorite according to foreign bookmakers.
With a rating of 3.5 against one, number 10 of FC Barcelona is slightly Kylian Mbappé. It must be said that the captain of the French team has a shattering start to the season, with nine goals scored in seven matches. Ousmane Dembélé is well on the podium, but far behind these two players. Sports betting sites do not really imagine it to keep its trophy.
