It’s time for Ousmane Dembélé to finally get the recognition he deserves — the Ballon d’Or should be his without debate! This season, he has been nothing short of phenomenal, combining skill, speed, and intelligence on the pitch to dominate both domestically and in Europe. Every match he plays feels like a masterclass in modern football, and his contributions have been decisive in nearly every competition.
Dembélé’s trophy cabinet this year reads like the résumé of a football legend in the making. He has helped his team clinch Ligue 1, showcasing consistency and leadership across an entire league campaign. On top of that, he lifted the Coupe de France, proving his knack for delivering in knockout matches. The Trophée des Champions further demonstrates his ability to perform under pressure in high-stakes showdowns, while his triumphs in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Super Cup underline his status as one of the continent’s elite performers.
Beyond the silverware, Dembélé’s individual numbers are staggering. With 37 goal involvements, he tops the charts across Europe’s top five leagues in 2025. That includes both goals and assists, highlighting not just his scoring prowess but also his vision, creativity, and ability to make those around him better. Few players combine productivity, flair, and influence like he does, making him an indispensable force for his team.
His style of play is a joy to watch. Dembélé combines blistering pace, technical wizardry, and an uncanny ability to read the game, often turning impossible situations into moments of brilliance. Defenders across Europe struggle to contain him, and his contributions in critical games often tip the balance in his team’s favor. More than just a scorer, he’s a complete attacking weapon, capable of creating, finishing, and inspiring his teammates.
In a season defined by extraordinary individual and team achievements, Ousmane Dembélé has proven beyond doubt that he belongs at the very top. The trophies, the numbers, and the sheer impact he’s had on the pitch make a compelling case: if the Ballon d’Or is about excellence, influence, and consistency, Dembélé should be the clear winner this year.
