Winner of the OneFootball Ballon d’Or: Ousmane Dembélé

The entire French editorial team at OneFootball put the same name in first place: OUSMANE DEMBÉLÉ!

The French international had the best season of his career. Dembélé was the statistical leader, the technical leader, the offensive leader... but also the defensive leader of the best team in the world last season, Paris Saint-Germain.

His remarkable and much-noticed pressing on Yann Sommer and Inter’s defenders in the Champions League final illustrates the player Ousmane Dembélé has become.

In 2024-25, the Parisian number 10 simply embraced the role of “franchise player,” a term usually reserved for basketball and the NBA. Dembélé was the one who initiated, who awakened, who unlocked, who relieved. The all-purpose man of a historic PSG.

Key stats from Dembélé’s 2024-25 season:

1. Goals and assists in all competitions: 35 goals, 16 assists
2. Honors: Champions League, Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Trophée des Champions, Club World Cup finalist, Champions League best player
