We walk on our heads in the French team. Despite PSG's resounding victory in the Champions League final (5-0), last Saturday against Inter, Ousmane Dembélé is not unanimous in Clairefontaine concerning the Ballon d'Or. The coach of the Blues Didier Deschamps himself installed this funny discomfort a few days before the semi-final of the League of Nations against Spain, believing that “Dembouz” was part of a “Trio of candidates” With Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal (and even quoting Raphinha and… Robert Lewandowski!).
