Strongly the end of the suspense. Since the end of the previous season, and in particular the victory of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, the Golden Ball race seems to have been reduced to a duel between Ousmane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal.
The verdict will fall next Monday, with the traditional ceremony organized at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. Until then, France Football takes all its precautions to avoid leaks, and spare the suspense concerning the identity of the winner. This does not prevent some from scrutinizing the slightest index.
Recently, an Instagram story by Ousmane Dembélé had been talked about because of his choice of song that would be, obvious, the proof that we have just announced his victory to the Ballon d'Or. And this while France Football wants to keep secret until next Monday.
“Ousmane Ballon d'Or”
This Tuesday, a few hours before the resumption of the Champions League, a video reacted on social networks. We see a stand installed in front of the Parc des Princes, with the mention “Ousmane Ballon d'Or”. A man in costume is photographed while holding in his arms which looks like the precious trophy.
Clearly, everything is wrong. It is absolutely not a photo shoot organized by France Football for a future edition of its magazine. And it is not a question of Ousmane Dembélé on the video, but of a joker who wanted to take his place. The buzz is successful.
