Luis Enrique believes Ousmane Dembele deserves the 2025 Ballon d’Or after leading PSG to their first-ever Champions League title. The winger's 33 goals, 15 assists, and tireless pressing make a strong case.
- Dembele helped PSG thrash Inter Milan 5–0 in the UCL final
- Ended season with 33 goals, 15 assists in 49 matches
- Won Ligue 1 Player of the Season and shared the Golden Boot
- Scored crucial goals vs Liverpool, Arsenal in the UCL knockout stages
“For the way he defended in this final, I’d give him the Ballon d’Or,” said PSG boss Luis Enrique. “Not just for titles or goals, but for pressing all season. He led this team.”
Dembele’s redemption arc, once marred by injuries and inconsistency, is now a storyline of elite impact and maturity. His dual role as scorer and relentless defender in PSG’s European campaign has shifted the narrative firmly in his favour.
With major silverware, individual honours, and praise from his coach, Ousmane Dembele is making the strongest case yet for football’s top individual prize in 2025.
