France smiles again thanks to Ousmane Dembélé, who succeeds Karim Benzema and becomes the new king of world football.

But he was not the only protagonist: among young talents, unbeatable champions, and super goalkeepers, Paris crowned the best of the year.

👑 Dembélé on the throne

The evening had a duel already written: Dembélé against Yamal. In the end, the PSG striker prevailed, lifting his first Ballon d'Or.

For the French, it's a resurgence, with the Parisian crowd in delirium. Yamal, just 18 years old, had to "settle" for second place, but the future is all his.

🌟 Bonmatí, living legend

If men's football has found a new king, women's football has confirmed its queen: Aitana Bonmatí. The Barcelona's Spanish player won her third consecutive Ballon d'Or, rightfully entering the legend.

A total champion, capable of leading Barça and the national team with class and leadership.

🧤 Donnarumma, Italian pride

Italy did not stand by watching. Gigi Donnarumma won the Yashin Trophy, award for the best goalkeeper in the world.

An acknowledgment that certifies his growth and his leadership role at PSG. Alisson and Sommer were also on the podium, but the Italian giant dominated the ranking.

🚀 Young stars of the future

The ceremony also celebrated the talents of tomorrow.

In the Kopa Trophy for men (Under 21), Lamine Yamal triumphed again, confirming that he is already a phenomenon.

In the Kopa Trophy for women, Vicky Lopez shone, another gem from Barcelona, ready to write new pages in European football.

🧠 The wizards of the bench

Awards for the coaches could not be missing:

Luis Enrique (PSG) won the Cruyff Trophy for men, after a season full of successes.

Sarina Wiegman confirmed herself as the queen of women's benches, leading England to the top.

⚽ Lethal bombers

Goals galore also in the special awards:

Viktor Gyökeres, protagonist with Sporting and now at Arsenal, took home the Gerd Müller Trophy for men.

Ewa Pajor, Barcelona's forward, dominated among the women.

🏟️ Club of the year

Men: PSG not only celebrated Dembélé and Donnarumma, but also took the club of the year award.

Women: Arsenal put everyone in line, thanks to a project that combines talent and a winning mentality.

❤️ Special award

Among the most touching moments of the evening, the Socrates Award was given to the Xana Foundation, named after Luis Enrique's daughter.

An acknowledgment of human value beyond sport, which moved the Parisian audience.
