Ousmane Dembele jokes about splitting Ballon d'Or as PSG back duo | OneFootball

The reigning Ballon d’Or holder, Ousmane Dembele, has lightened PSG’s dilemma by backing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ahead of the 2026 ceremony in London on 26 October.

"He’s the Ballon d’Or winner. Honestly, he deserves it. He’s had an exceptional season. As the saying goes, he’s been a dazzling sight to behold. He’s an incredible player, and he’s proven it in Champions League matches." The interview was with the BBC.

PSG have embraced a collective stance, refusing to pick between their two contenders. The pair have appeared together in interviews, trading compliments rather than competing.

With both forwards in contention, Dembele added: "The Ballon d'Or? We’ll just cut it in half."

The winner will soon be confirmed, whether Dembele defends his crown or Kvaratskhelia collects his first, leaving PSG with cause to celebrate.
