Kylian Mbappe has thrown his weight behind Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele for the 2025 Ballon d'Or award. According to Mbappe, Dembele's incredible season with PSG, leading the team to a historic treble, makes him the standout candidate for the prestigious award.
Dembele's impressive performance has been a key factor in PSG's success, and Mbappe believes his compatriot deserves the recognition. "Would I vote for Dembele? Yes. I don't think it needs much explaining. People are talking about Lamine Yamal and Dembele, but my choice is clear: I vote for Dembele," Mbappe said in a press conference.
Dembele's rise to prominence has been remarkable, and he has stepped up to fill the void left by Mbappe's departure from PSG. Despite Mbappe's exit, PSG blitzed their way to European glory in their first season without him, with Dembele playing a starring role.
However, Dembele faces stiff competition from Barcelona star Lamine Yamal, who won La Liga with his team and continues to impress with his incredible rise to superstardom. Yamal's impressive performance has made him a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or award.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid teammate Vinicius Junior is considered a rank outsider due to Madrid's disappointing season. Vinicius's chances were also hampered by his second-place finish to Rodri in last year's voting, which prompted a meltdown from Real Madrid.
Mbappe's endorsement of Dembele is significant, and it will be interesting to see how the voting unfolds. With Dembele currently unavailable due to a hip injury, Mbappe will be hoping to lead France to a strong finish in the Nations League finals against Germany on Sunday.
The Ballon d'Or award is one of the most prestigious individual honors in football, and Mbappe's backing of Dembele adds to the excitement surrounding the ceremony. As the football world waits with bated breath for the winner, Mbappe's comments have sparked a lively debate about who deserves the coveted award.
Dembele's treble-winning season with PSG has undoubtedly made a strong case for him, but Yamal's impressive rise to superstardom cannot be ignored. Ultimately, the decision will depend on the voters' assessment of each player's performance and contributions to their team's success.
As the anticipation builds up for the Ballon d'Or ceremony, football fans around the world are eager to see who will take home the coveted award. Will it be Dembele, Yamal, or another deserving player? Only time will tell [1].
