2025 Ballon d’Or: Casemiro Snubs Dembele and Yamal, Names Surprise Winner
Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has surprised many by snubbing popular candidates Ousmane Dembele and Lamine Yamal for the 2025 Ballon d'Or winner. Despite Dembele and Yamal's impressive seasons with Paris, Casemiro believes a different player deserves the prestigious award.
The French attacker, Dembele, stood out with a brilliant performance in the UEFA Champions League, while Yamal helped Paris win the league. Casemiro's choice has sparked debate, especially as many expected Dembele or Yamal to be the frontrunners.
Interestingly, Casemiro also mentioned his Manchester United rival as a deserving candidate, acknowledging Mohamed Salah's exceptional season with Liverpool. Salah, who won the Premier League Golden Boot and Playmaker Award, expressed his desire to win the Ballon d'Or this year, despite Liverpool's Champions League exit.
This unexpected prediction by Casemiro has added an intriguing twist to the upcoming Ballon d'Or.
