The big day is approaching. Next Monday, September 22, the name of the winner of the Ballon d'Or 2025 will be unveiled during the traditional ceremony organized at the Théâtre du Châtelet, in Paris. In the meantime, everyone goes from their prognosis.

Consultant for CBS Sports during the Champions League evenings, Thierry Henry was invited to draw up a list of six players standing to win this most prestigious year of individual distinctions in football. But the former Blues attacker decided to come out only one name: Ousmane Dembélé.

“I don't even need to speak. You just have to look at the image (his favorites) … We can talk about many players but for me, he (Dembélé) will have it! »»said the world champion 98, convinced that the Ballon d'Or cannot escape the number 10 of PSG this year.

Henry: “I think he's going to be crowned best in the world”

“I remember saying against Manchester City that if he finds a way to finish what he starts, he will be the best in the world. And this year, I think it will be crowned best in the world “Predicted” titi “.

Indeed, Ousmane Dembélé advances as the big favorite. It must be said that the former Rennais scored the spirits on an individual level, with 33 goals scored and 13 assists issued in 49 matches played last season (all competitions). On the collective level, “Dembouz” was not outdone either. The tricolor international raised five trophies with PSG, including the Champions League last May. It remains to be seen whether this will be enough to get ahead of Lamine Yamal, his main competitor.
