Ousmane Dembélé, 29, a forward for Paris Saint-Germain, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, 25, a winger for the Parisian club, treated fans to a delightful Ballon d’Or moment. In a video shared by ParisSG Infos, each chose to name his teammate rather than back his own candidacy.
“Kvara is the one who’s going to win the Ballon d’Or!” says Ousmane Dembélé. “Ous is the Ballon d’Or!” Khvicha Kvaratskhelia replies.
Two immense players, two candidates fully capable of making their own case... and yet not a trace of ego takes over. Dembélé picks Kvaratskhelia, and Kvaratskhelia immediately returns the favor: the exchange is brief, but it nicely captures the bond the two Parisians have built. Even when an individual trophy enters the conversation, the team is never far away.
It is, of course, only a light-hearted exchange, but it paints a lovely picture. Rather than slipping into the usual game of comparisons, the two forwards choose to shine the spotlight on each other. It’s exactly the kind of rivalry PSG can enjoy: abundant talent, genuine ambition, and above all, two fine players who seem to take just as much pleasure in praising the other as in shining themselves.
