Ousmane Dembele has won the 2025 Ballon d’Or, claims French journalist Romain Collet Gaudin, despite contrasting reports from Spain.
The Ballon d’Or ceremony will take place at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris on Monday evening, with football royalty to be in attendance.
The prestigious individual award will be handed to the best player of the 2024/25 campaign for the 69th edition of the French Football title.
Last year, Manchester City’s Rodri won the men’s award, while Barcelona and Spain forward Aitana Bonmati clinched the 2024 women’s Ballon d’Or.
This time, it’s hinted by French reporter Gaudin, that the men’s award will be given to PSG forward Dembele. The France star was the Parisians’ talisman in their first Champions League triumph.
However, Spanish journalist Edu Aguirre told Spanish TV El Chiringuito that he believes Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal will be crowned instead.
He said: “I think Lamine wins the Ballon d’Or for sure. What amazes me is they [Barcelona] haven’t won the Champions League. There’s no World Cup either, so logically in France, it should be debated between (Ousmane) Dembele, Vitinha, Achraf [Hakimi]. PSG has already won everything this year.
