Ousmane Dembélé praised the exceptional performance of Lamine Yamal after his 2025 golden ball. “It was very good to compete with Lamine Yamal. He is an extraordinary young player with a lot of maturity ”said the French winger, highlighting the exceptional level of the young Catalan prodigy. Dembélé recalled that all season, the talent and unpredictability of Yamal have captured the observers: “We have all seen him play all season, he is extraordinary. »»
The Golden Ball won by Dembélé does not in any way decrease the value of Yamal, on the contrary. The PSG striker added: “He is an extraordinary player. He too if all the planets line up, he will win much trophies like the Ballon d'Or. It was a great competition. It was a great battle. “ These words bear witness to mutual respect and admiration for the new generation, stressing that competition between the stars of tomorrow is only strengthening the quality and spectacle of world football.
