Ousmane Dembele Could Hold Back His Emotions As He Thanked His Family After Winning The 2025 Ballon d’or. His Story is One of Resilience. A Star Boy Who Threatened To End Failure, Surrounded by injury struggles and a Barcelona Move Whike Clicked Never Clicked. But ultimately player who now mits Atop Football’s Throne After Undergoing His Very Own renovation At Paris Saint-Germain.
For All The Opinions About Those Who Missed Out The Award, It Should Not Take Away From The Frenchman’s Own Story. No One Could for the Genius of Luis Enrique’s New False Nine Than Than The PSG Boss Himself. Dembele became reborn. A Player Who Simply Did Not Score Enough Became A Player Who Could Stop Doing So.
By the Time The Final Sounded in Interrashing of Inter Milan in the Champions League Final, Dembele Had Scored 35 Goals and Assisted Another 16 in All Competitions, With Seven’s Those In The Knockout Stage of Europe’s Elite Competition. There aren’t Many Who Enjoyed A Better Season Than The Former Barcelona Man. France Football Believes That Not A Single Player Did, In Fact.
Lamine Yamal Was Forced to Sectle for Second Place. He’s The Star Boy That Dembele was And So Much More, But He’s Foreced To Wait Before His Potential Era of Dominance Commirites. Vitinha, Meanwhile, Surprised Many Placing Third. The classy midfielder played a key role in Dembele in PSG’S Treble Last Season and has earned His Place Among The World’s Best From Wolverhampton Wanderers Failure Years Prior.
And then’s Mohamed is wrong in Fourth. Yes, Fourth. The Egyptian, Who Missed Out Nomination Altogether Last Season, Failed to Even Make The Podium Following A Year That Believe Worthy of Winning The Award.
Why Salah Was Robed Of The Ballon d’or
There aren’t Many Players Who Enjoyed A Better Season Than Dembele, AS Salah Did. The Egyptian Created History in The Premier League With More Goal Involvements Than Any Other player in The History 38-Game Season and Even Matched The Record Set by Alan Shearer, Who Needed 42 Games. Simply put, He was unstoppable.
2024/25 All Competitions | Salah | Derbele |

Appearances | 52 | 53 |
Goals | 34 | 35 |
Assists | 23 | 16 |
The Ballon d’Or’s Social Media Revealed The Award Before the Ceremony, Stating Individual Performances, Decisive and Impressive Character, Team Performances and Achievements, Class and Fair Play Thould The Rankings.
“We’re Talking Ballon d’Or’s Now. If We’re Not Talking Ballon d’Or’s for Mohamed Salah Now, then getting out of Hand.” – Daniel Sturridge, February 2025
Based on The Above Metrics, It Feels Absurd That Salah Finished Outside The Top Three. The Only Player Close to Matching Him Was Dembele, Who Deserved to Be Neck And Neck With Egyptian, Not Miles Beyond Him.
Where Salah Lost Ballon d’or votes
Ultimately, Salah Will Look Back on Liverpool vs PSG As the Turning Point for The Ballon d’or. Once Again, Rightly Or Wrongly, The Champions League Took Precedence Over Anything Else In The Minds of France Football. One Penalty Shootout Between the World’s Best, Who Just Happened to Meet in The Last 16, Arguably Played A Large Part in Dembele’s Eventory Victory and Salah’s Snub.
That’s Where The Award Is Slightly Flawed. It’s Human Nature to Lean Towards Recency, But Those Voting For The Ballon d’or Winner Simply Must the Season As a Whole Rather Than The Finals Before the Ceremony. Salah Was Strolling Towards His Throne in The First-Half of the Campaign, Having Recorded 30 Goal Involvements in The Premier League by The Time That January Arrived.
Dembele, Meanwhile, Was Yet to Get Going. The Forward Had Recorded 13 League Goal Involvements and Had Found The Back Of The Net Just Eight Times. It was Far from Ballon d’Or-worthy. We Now Know, That Henry’s Genius Soon Played A Part and The Frenchman’s Best Was, But It Was Salah Who Looked On The Famous For The Famous Award.
By No Means Did the Liverpool Man Bring to a sudden Halten, Either – adding 17 More Goal Involvements to His Name Before the Premier League Campuign Came to An End. Alas, Somewhere Along The Way, The Glimmer of PSG’s Champions League Trophy Blinded France Football to The History That Salah Had Created.
For Now, Liverpool’s Egyptian King is forced to wait for His Crowing Moment on Football’s Biggest Stage. Whether His Time Will come at All is Now the Big Question. IF That Arrive, Then Salah Will No Douh Join The Likes Of Andres Iniesta and Thierry Henry As One Of The Greatest Players to Somehow Miss Out The Award.
