On September 22, Ousmane Dembélé won the 2025 Ballon d’Or. A little over two months later, the Frenchman was honored by GQ. The opportunity for him to speak during a long interview, during which he returned to his Ballon d’Or victory.
A journalist asked him what his reaction would have been if he had not won. Dembouz was clear: “I didn’t think about it because I knew I was going to win it. (laughs)” He then indicated the moment he found out: “well, when Ronaldinho opened the envelope!” Finally, the Parisian clarified: no (he didn’t think he would win it after the victory in C1, editor’s note). I think it was more after the European Super Cup against Tottenham.
