Ballon d'Or 2025: FFF President Picks Player Who 'Deserves' to Win Award
- France Football Federation president Philippe Diallo said Ousmane Dembélé, PSG striker, deserves to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or after an exceptional season.
- Dembélé left Barcelona in 2023 and then helped PSG win a historic treble, including their first-ever Champions League title in 2024-25.
- The 28-year-old scored 25 goals since early 2025 and was instrumental in PSG securing all four major trophies: Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Trophée des Champions, and the Champions League.
- Diallo expressed that Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé should be on the Ballon d'Or podium, while Dembélé said, "This season I think I've been consistent, so we'll see what happens."
- The 2025 Ballon d'Or ceremony in October will likely feature competition among current or former Barcelona players, with Dembélé seen as a leading contender alongside young talent Lamine Yamal.
