Lucas Hernandez: Ousmane Dembele deserves this season’s Ballon d’Or

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) left-back Lucas Hernandez states that Ousmane Dembele — his teammate at both club and French national team — deserves to win the 2025 Ballon d’Or.

This statement is based on Dembele’s brilliant season with PSG — the winger managed to score 33 goals and provide 12 assists from 45 appearances across all competitions.

Dembele’s significant contribution led PSG to win four trophies in a single season:

• Champions League
• French League
• French Cup
• French Super Cup

“Dembele has no strong competitors in this year’s Ballon d’Or race. His performance has been fantastic throughout the season,” says Hernandez.
