Deschamps’ Unexpected Endorsement Puts PSG’s Dembele on Ballon d’Or Collision Course—Who Stands in His Way?
Dembele is the favourite for the most prestigious individual prize in football after playing an instrumental role in Paris Saint-Germain’s treble-winning season, which was capped with a 5-0 rout of Inter Milan in the Champions League final last Saturday.
The former Barcelona forward did not score in the Allianz Arena showpiece. However, he assisted the second and fourth goals as PSG finally ended their wait for a maiden Champions League crown in emphatic fashion.
Dembele finished the season with 33 goals and 13 assists in all competitions and, while Barcelona stars Lamine Yamal and Raphinha have strong cases along with Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah, it is the France international who leads the way in the eyes of the bookmakers.
