Kylian Mbappé is throwing his full support behind his French teammate Ousmane Dembélé, a serious contender for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
The Real Madrid star is adamant that Dembélé deserves the prestigious award, emphasizing his unwavering backing since the beginning of their journey together. “For me, he deserves it, and I hope he wins. It’s been natural for me to support him, but ultimately, it doesn’t depend on us. If it were up to me, I would have already taken the trophy straight to his house!”
Mbappé is not just focused on Dembélé; he also expressed hope that teammate Achraf Hakimi will receive a high ranking in the Ballon d’Or race.
However, it is clear that Mbappé’s top pick is Dembélé. When asked about the rising star Lamine Yamal, he chuckled, acknowledging the Barcelona player’s talent but maintaining his loyalty to his PSG colleague. “Yamal? He’s from Barcelona, so we can’t say too much… but he’s a very good player,” he said with a smile.
Rodri Also Backs PSG Players for Ballon d’Or
Spanish midfielder Rodri added his voice to the discussion, stating, “PSG has been the team of the season, making it hard not to award the Ballon d’Or to a player from that squad. Personally, I would love to see either Lamine or Pedri win, but sportingly, it might just be Ousmane Dembélé or Vitinha.”
Rodri’s comments reflect the strong sentiment within the football community regarding the impressive performances from PSG players this season.
As the anticipation builds, one thing is certain: the French contingent is rallying strongly behind Dembélé as the Ballon d’Or announcement approaches. Fans and players alike will be glued to their screens on September 22 to see if their support pays off. Stay tuned for more exciting updates on this thrilling race!
