Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele has been named the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner, taking home football’s most prestigious individual award at the ceremony in Paris on Monday night.
The French international earned the honor after a remarkable 2024/25 campaign where he netted 35 goals and delivered 16 assists across all competitions.
His performance was key to PSG’s unforgettable season, as the club finally lifted the UEFA Champions League for the first time in history, while also securing the Ligue 1 title and the Coupe de France.
Dembele triumphed over Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal and other world class contenders to clinch the prize.
This accolade represents the peak of the 28 year old’s career, following years of injuries and setbacks that once threatened to derail his journey.
