PSG and France star Ousmane Dembélé has been crowned the winner of the 2025 men's Ballon d'Or award.
The winger has won the prestigious honour for the first time in his career with confirmation coming at a ceremony in Paris on Monday night.
It comes off the back of a sensational season in 2024/25 in which he helped PSG to a first Champions League title and Ligue 1 glory by contributing 35 goals and 16 assists across the campaign.
He beat out competition from the likes of Lamine Yamal (second), Mo Salah (fourth) and club team-mate Vitinha (third) for the award.
Despite PSG playing against Marseille at the same time as the ceremony after the fixture which was originally scheduled for Sunday night was moved due to weather concerns, the 28-year-old was in attendance to receive the prize due to being sidelined at present with a hamstring injury.
Dembélé's victory also marks the first time a PSG player has won the honour.
