Italy international Gianluigi Donnarumma was named in the FIFA Best Men’s XI 2025, with his former PSG teammate Ousmane Dembele getting the overall prize.
Inevitably, Paris Saint-Germain dominated this evening’s awards in Doha, as they won the Champions League, Ligue 1, Coupe de France and French Supercup last season.
Donnarumma was a key figure in that squad, so despite being sold to Manchester City in the summer, he was recognised with the Best Men’s Goalkeeper award and as part of the Best Men’s XI.

His former teammate Dembele was as expected given the FIFA Best Men’s Player award for 2025, following on from his Ballon d’Or success.
PSG coach Luis Enrique was also crowned the Best Men’s Coach for 2025, although Italian Enzo Maresca of Chelsea was in the list of seven nominees.
Spain and Barcelona midfielder Aitana Bonmati won the Best Women’s Player award for the third year in a row.
