Ousmane Dembélé is in full recovery after an injury contracted during the last rally with the French team. He recently returned to the field in the 8th World Cup final of the Clubs against Inter Miami and has since resumed collective training. The player is optimistic about his fitness, claiming to be 100% and ready to be titularized for the quarter-final against Bayern Munich. At a press conference, he stressed his love for football and his desire to help his team win the title, while leaving it to the coach to make the final decision about his tenure.
The imminent approach to the Ballon d’Or ceremony aroused a keen interest in the exceptional season of Ousmane Dembélé. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, President of Paris Saint-Germain, publicly expressed his admiration and conviction that Dembélé amply deserves this prestigious individual award. The Parisian leader insists on the player’s major contribution to the club’s performance, particularly during the Champions League and in the big games, stressing that a lack of victory for Dembélé would be a problem for the jury of the Ballon d’Or.
The support shown by the PSG president reinforces the candidacy of Ousmane Dembélé, already mentioned by the European media as a serious contender. His offensive impact, decisive performance and regularity in key moments made him a cornerstone of the historic season of the Parisian club. It remains to be seen whether voters will follow this trend and reward the talent and hard work of the French player at the Ballon d’Or ceremony.
