Dembélé tipped for 2025 Ballon d'Or, OM and PSG humbled | OneFootball

This Tuesday, September 23, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain's defeat against Olympique de Marseille last night and the Ballon d'Or 2025 ceremony, notably with the victory of Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward).

The defeat is always frustrating, but we can't make a drama out of it. The details turned on the wrong side for a Paris that wasn't quite there. It's infuriating. It happens, however. Especially with 3 often starting forwards who are absent. At least, there are no additional injuries. Good news considering the match and a refereeing that allowed some nasty blows. It should also be noted that PSG rather dominated, making too many mistakes to win. But the Marseillais did not set up a surprising or fantastic game.

At least, there is another positive point in the evening with Dembélé's Ballon d'Or, a real pride for PSG and all of French football. A moment to savor, even if we always prefer team titles to individual ones.
