AFCON 2025
Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe has made his pick for the 2025 Ballon d’Or award.
The France captain has thrown his full support behind his former Paris Saint-Germain and current France teammate, Ousmane Dembélé, stating that he believes the ex-Barcelona man is the most deserving player for the prestigious prize.
In an interview with TeleFoot, Mbappé expressed his unwavering conviction, claiming he would personally deliver the trophy to Dembélé’s home if he could.
“Ousmane deserves it, I have supported him from the beginning,” Mbappé said with conviction.
“If it were up to me, I would bring him the trophy directly to his home.”
Mbappé’s endorsement comes after a hugely successful year for Dembélé. The winger played a pivotal role in Paris Saint-Germain’s dominance, helping the club secure an impressive five trophies in 2025.
While their incredible season was marred by a defeat to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final, Dembélé’s contributions were instrumental in their domestic and continental triumphs.
