EKO HOT BLOG reports that Dembele, who now dons PSG’s iconic No. 10 shirt, was announced as the recipient of football’s most prestigious individual prize after a campaign that saw him rediscover his very best form.
The French winger played a pivotal role in PSG’s dominance across competitions last season. He was instrumental in their Ligue 1 and Coupe de France triumphs, but more importantly, he spearheaded the club’s long-awaited maiden UEFA Champions League victory.
In Europe, Dembele’s performances were decisive. He consistently delivered goals, assists, and game-changing moments throughout the knockout stages. His flair, pace, and ability to dismantle defences made him one of the most feared attackers on the continent. His influence peaked in the Champions League final, where he registered crucial assists and drove PSG to continental glory.
For the French national team, Dembele’s resurgence also provided a major boost, with his attacking contributions reaffirming his importance on the international stage.
The award represents a career-defining moment for the 28-year-old, who endured several injury-plagued and inconsistent seasons during his spell at Barcelona. Since returning to France in 2023, his career trajectory has transformed. Under coach Luis Enrique, he was entrusted with more freedom and responsibility in PSG’s attack, and he delivered beyond expectations, becoming the team’s attacking focal point.
With the Ballon d’Or now in his grasp, Dembele joins the elite ranks of football’s global icons, fulfilling the promise that once made him one of Europe’s brightest prospects.
