Louis Saha, a renowned former striker, spoke about the 2025 Ballon d'Or, placing Ousmane Dembélé, 27, forward for Paris Saint-Germain, at the top of the favorites. For him, it is Dembélé's spectacular progression and hard work at PSG that fully justify this prestigious award, as he indicated on BoyleSports. This analysis highlights Dembélé's decisive impact this season.

Saha "Not because he is French, but because Dembélé has progressed the most"

"For me this year, the Ballon d'Or is for Dembélé. Not because he is French, but because Dembélé has progressed the most. He has always been a diamond, someone who can score, create a lot of things, but the way he has shown himself and worked tremendously... I find that very impressive. It was truly an incredible season for him: he scored many goals, delivered numerous assists, and experienced very special moments throughout the year."

Ousmane Dembélé had an exceptional 2024-2025 season, widely praised by his peers and experts. With 33 goals and 15 assists in all competitions, he was a key player in PSG's treble, notably in the Champions League where he was named the best player by UEFA.
