Hey football fans ⚽️, big news from Paris — Ousmane Dembele has just scooped this year’s Ballon d’Or, beating rising star Lamine Yamal to claim the crown. 🌟
The Ballon d’Or, handed out by France Football, is the award for the planet’s best player. In the 2024-25 season, Dembele tore it up with 35 goals and 16 assists in 53 games across all tournaments. He played a key part in PSG defending their Ligue 1 and Coupe de France titles, but the real highlight was leading the team to its first-ever UEFA Champions League win — Europe’s top club competition. 🏆
“When you’re young, you think about winning those titles,” Dembele said. “Then, as you grow up, you realize that team trophies matter most. But winning the Champions League or the World Cup, and now the Ballon d’Or, it’s just exceptional.”
At 28, he’s now the sixth Frenchman to win this honor, joining legends like Zidane, Platini, and Benzema. For fans from Dhaka to Jakarta, Dembele’s rise is proof that hard work and skill can take you all the way. 💪
Whether you’re cheering him on from Bangalore, Manila, or Kuala Lumpur, this win is a reminder that dreams in football — and in life — are worth chasing. 🚀
