PSG Star Opens Up on Ballon d'Or Dream After Historic Season cover image

In a unique moment for Paris Saint-Germain, we have been able to identify how the team are in an increasingly important stage of their season.

But it is also here where the club managed to consolidate their players last season, conquering everything and earning praise not only from their fans but also from the football world. Without a doubt, PSG will go down in world football history for what they achieved in the 24-25 season.

In a recent interview conducted by FourFourTwo with Ousmane Dembele, several statements from the French footballer were revealed, where he shared his greatest happiness and the strong competitive mentality he has maintained for so long as a PSG player.

Without a doubt, he revealed that it was a great thrill for him to see the fans chanting "Ousmane Dembele, Ballon d'Or". Before the UEFA Champions League final, these chants motivated him enormously, but he remained focused on the team and, especially, on the match he was about to play.

In recent statements, he dropped the following: "As an individual trophy, there is nothing better for a footballer. It is the holy grail of football. If we consider all the legends who have won it, it is exceptional. After a season like this, it is normal to be considered one of the favourites for this award."

This statement clearly shows that Ousmane Dembele does not stop reminding himself how fascinating this stage of his career is, especially after the very negative seasons he experienced at FC Barcelona, full of injuries and questionable performances.

But now, from being considered a footballer stalled by injuries to becoming one of the main candidates for the Ballon d'Or, we can see that he is one of the most important players in the current PSG squad. Luis Enrique has transformed him in an exceptional way, both in attack and in defence.

His greatest idol is Lionel Messi

He also made positive comments about Lionel Messi, highlighting that Messi has always been his favourite player. He said that Messi was one of the main influences in his move to FC Barcelona.

He also pointed out that playing alongside Messi and Andres Iniesta in the Spaniard's final year was something unique and unmatched. However, his departure from FC Barcelona created a very negative atmosphere in the dressing room and low sporting performance, which pushed him to seek redemption, which he finally found at PSG.

With Luis Enrique, he has experienced a unique transformation and has managed to find a place where he has become a leader both on and off the pitch.

On the path to winning the Ballon d'Or, it shows that with effort and dedication, one can become the best footballer in the world, and this example of Ousmane Dembele is the clear example of what it means to be the best player of a season.
