Ousmane Dembélé is on cloud nine after being crowned the newest Ballon d’Or winner at PSG. The football star still can’t believe it! Following a heartfelt ceremony filled with tears, he opened up to Telefoot about his feelings and experiences since receiving the prestigious award.
At just 28 years old and now a Ballon d’Or holder, Dembélé retains his childlike wonder. In a candid moment on TF1, he disclosed that he had slept with his trophy, saying, “Since last night, I’ve slept with it. It’s the recognition of the hard work I’ve done.” His laughter reflected both joy and sincerity.
Dembélé also spoke about the tears that flowed during the live ceremony. “I didn’t want to cry. But emotions built up. With my mother, who raised me alone and has always been there since the beginning, it’s just exceptional,” he shared, revealing the depth of his gratitude and love for his family.
Pride and Emotion in Dembélé’s Journey
In addition to his sleepless nights hugging the golden trophy, Dembélé expressed his pride and emotions about his hometown of Évreux celebrating his achievement. He felt thrilled, a bit nervous, and utterly delighted to have a new golden ‘buddy’ to cherish.
As Dembélé continues to bask in his triumph, he remains grounded and appreciative of where he came from. His win not only signifies personal success but also represents hope and pride for his community, making this victory all the more special.
