Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele has been named the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner, cementing his place among football’s elite.
The French winger received the prestigious honour on Monday night at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, where football’s biggest names gathered for the annual ceremony.
Dembele, 28, edged Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal to the award after a remarkable year for club and country.
He takes over from Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri, who lifted the trophy in 2024.
