When he arrived at Paris Saint-Germain during the summer of 2023, Ousmane Dembélé (29 years old) perhaps did not imagine winning two Champions Leagues and a Ballon d’Or at the end of an exceptional 2024/2025 season on a personal level (35 goals, 16 assists in 53 matches). But if he did not hide his pride when he was crowned the best player in the world last year, Dembélé continues to highlight the collective.
“One does not go without the other. We can’t do everything alone. You can be the best player, score a lot of goals, but around you, others must also raise their level. Like I said, it’s an individual award, but the team helped me a lot. She put me in the best conditions the year I won the trophy. I particularly remember Bradley Barcola, who gave me many assists. It is also the fruit of collective work”he confided to the BBC.
