Ousmane Dembélé retains Ligue 1 Player of the Year at UNFP awards | OneFootball

Ousmane Dembélé retained the Ligue 1 Player of the Year at the UNFP awards on Monday night, his second straight win.

According to L'Équipe, the PSG forward finished ahead of team-mates Nuno Mendes and Vitinha, plus Lens' Florian Thauvin and Marseille's Mason Greenwood.

The 2025 Ballon d'Or winner also extended PSG's grip on the prize, with the club claiming it every year since 2016.

Dembélé, 28, had a quieter league campaign than last season's 21 goals and eight assists in 29 matches. Injuries and rotation limited him to 960 minutes across 20 matches, down from 1,736 in 2024-25, yielding 10 goals and six assists.

Even so, he remained the division's most decisive per 90 minutes and most dangerous, scoring every 96 minutes and averaging one combined xG and xA per 90. He also won Goal of the Season for his control and lob against Lille in the 3-0 win on 16 January.
