Ousmane Dembélé and Paris Saint-Germain have achieved a remarkable feat by winning every major trophy available in 2025. Their successful campaign began in early January when Dembélé scored the decisive late goal against AS Monaco in the Trophée des Champions. This was followed by victories in the prestigious UEFA Champions League, the French Ligue 1, and the Coupe de France.
PSG now has the chance to add another significant piece of silverware to their collection: the FIFA Club World Cup. The Parisian giants are scheduled to face Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. PSG enters this match and the tournament itself as strong favorites to emerge victorious.
While Dembélé insists his primary focus is on helping the team secure the inaugural Club World Cup title, he also openly acknowledges a personal ambition that he feels is increasingly within his grasp. Speaking in an interview with DAZN, the France international revealed, “I am thinking about [the Ballon d’Or].”
He elaborated further, stating, “I know that, with the season I have had, I am not far [from the Ballon d’Or], but I am focused on the objectives, before thinking about myself.”
The awarding of the Ballon d`Or is taking place earlier this year, with the ceremony set for September 22nd in Paris. On this date, Dembélé will discover if his outstanding performances throughout the season have been enough to earn him this highly coveted individual honor.
