2025 Ballon d’Or: PSG Legend Gives Reason Why Ousmane Dembele Could Lose to Lamine Yamal
Paris Saint-Germain legend Pedro Miguel Pauleta has raised concerns that Ousmane Dembele could lose the 2025 Ballon d’Or to Lamine Yamal. Despite Dembele being the favorite to win the award, Yamal is seen as his closest challenger.
Dembele's impressive performance last season, scoring 35 goals and providing 16 assists in 53 matches, has put him ahead in the race. However, Pauleta worries that club loyalty could play a role in the final decision, with Barcelona star Yamal being a contender.
Moroccan defender Achraf Hakimi has also been vocal about Yamal's deserving of the award. While Dembele has been named the player of the match in several key games, there is speculation about potential division within the club regarding the Ballon d’Or winner.
Despite the competition, fans hope that the deserving player will ultimately win the prestigious award.
