Deschamps’ Unexpected Endorsement Puts PSG’s Dembele on Ballon d’Or Collision Course—Who Stands in His Way?
He would be the sixth Frenchman to claim the Ballon d’Or, and unsurprisingly has the complete backing of Deschamps.
“Of course I am for Ousmane, since he is French and with the season he is celebrating,” Deschamps told reporters ahead of Friday’s Nations League semi-final between France and Spain.
“Obviously, this Nations League can bring some elements of response, the Club World Cup too. If I have to choose, I tell you Ous, 100%, of course.
“If you ask me about the Spaniards, I don’t think they will tell you the same thing. But obviously, Ousmane, with the season he is having, deserves it.”
