France international, Ousmane Dembele has admitted that it is hard for him to rate his chances of winning the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
Dembele had a brilliant 2024/25 season with Paris Saint-Germain as he helped Luis Enrique’s side win the UEFA Champions League, French Cup and French Ligue 1.
The 26-year-old scored 33 goals and provided 15 assists in all competitions for the Parisians.
When asked to rate his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or, Dembele told France Football, “These are difficult things to say. But winning a Ballon d’Or when you’re a football player is obviously the Holy Grail individually.
“It is something you dream about when you are little. The award is exceptional.”
Dembele will challenge players like Mohamed Salah, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Pedri, Vitinha and Kylian Mbappe for the top-individual award.
