PSG has missed its subject. After having brilliantly passed almost all the events, the European champions, which had fallen against Botafogo during the group stage, broke their teeth during the final exam against Chelsea last night during the World Cup of FIFA clubs. Indeed, the residents of the Parc des Princes were beaten 3 to 0 by the Blues of Enzo Maresca. As if that were not enough, Luis Enrique is at the center of a controversy after slapping João Pedro. With all this, we would almost forget that Ooumane Dembélé was playing big Sunday evening. Favorite for the Ballon d'Or, the Frenchman has completely missed, he who had however been very good a few days before against Real Madrid in the 1/2 final.
A Miss Capital Rendezmnation
The FM Writing He also assigned the note of 3 indicating that he was “Decreased by the heroic Sanchez”he who lived a complicated evening. This is also the opinion of our colleagues from Parisian. For his part, The team was more severe by giving him a 2. “Hero of the semi-final, the attacker missed out on his appointment. On a match like that where he is weaned with balloons, he must undoubtedly be more in construction. Rarely found in good conditions, the ex Barcelona has – with the exception of a good service for Goué (18th) – never had an influence on the Parisian game. Worse, he is the author of the loss of the ball on the second conceded goal. He loses his duel against Sanchez (52nd) “can we read on sports daily life.
In England, Goal gave him a 4 and said: “He did not play at the expected level today (yesterday, editor's note), for a favorite from the Ballon d'Or.” Always across the Channel, The Sun Relaunch the race for the individual supreme title after the coronation of the blues. “Cole Palmer takes place in the Golden Ball race by destroying Paris-Saint-Germain (…) The player undoubtedly has enough to be one of the best players in the world. He could even be an outsider for the Ballon d'Or. ” Winner of the Europa League Conference and the World Cup, English has a say. In Spain, it is also estimated that this lost final will leave traces in the race for the Ballon d'Or. This is the opinion of Sports World.
Lamine Yamal is still in the race
“Who will win the Ballon d'Or 2025?” The bets seem to focus on only two names, Dembélé and Lamine Yamal, even if other candidates are in the running, including Raphinha. The defeat of PSG against Chelsea in the final of the Club World Cup in the United States helps to balance the balance that the French had tipped in his favor. Dembélé seemed to have taken a giant step towards his crown in the semi-finals against Real Madrid. If he has not played much in the round of 16 and in the quarterfinals, he showed against Real Madrid of the same force of character as in the final of the Champions League. The final should have served as a final guarantee. It was not the case. He was barely visible. ”
MD continues: “The French striker, a former Barça player, has still not won a title and now presents his titles to the jury who will award him the prize on September 22 at the Châtelet Theater in Paris (…) Lamine Yamal could be a tough opponent for the Ballon d'Or. Trained at Barça, he won the Liga, the King's Cup and the Spanish Super Cup with the club. Eliminated in the semi-finals of the Champions League, he also almost won the League of Nations with Spain after a defeat against Portugal in the final. Dembélé considers the European Cup as its ultimate title, but the magic of Lamine Yamal at his young age and all the early records he broke in club and in the national team give him a good chance. Like Raphinha, with more goals, the same titles, but without this differential game. ”
The case Dembouz poses question
As Sports WorldJose Alvarez Haya, journalist who follows FC Barcelona for The beach barpleaded in favor of the Cules. “The Ballon d'Or will be played between Lamine, Pedri and Raphinha. Dembélé lost his head after his bad performances in the Nations League and in the World Cup of clubs. The championship and the French Cup are gifts each year. He let the opportunity to win them. It must be for a Barça player. ” In Catalonia and Spain, we therefore campaign for Lamine Yamal. This, even if some media mentioned the name of Fabian Ruiz. The environment, just like Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha or other Parisians, can claim it. This possible division of votes in club, but also in France where some have cited the name of Kylian Mbappé, may not do the affairs of Ousmane Dembélé.
A player who, for some of his detractors, was only at the top a few months unlike Hakimi who was more regular over a longer period. After his final last night, some believe that he may not deserve to be sacred. This is the case of Jérôme Rothen, who spoke on the set of DAZN. “On arrival, is a Ballon d'Or miss such important matches, finals like that of Dembele today?” For me, not. “ This debate is still likely to animate the debates by the announcement of the lucky man elected, or even even after. No one really died and all the possibilities remain open. Dembouz, which is not in the typical team of the World Cup, will have the opportunity to add a new title to its record with the European Super Cup against Tottenham. A match that will count in the Ballon d'Or race for its supporters like its detractors …
