Paris Saint-Germain has a strong claim to the Ballon d'Or, with ten of the thirty nominees playing for the club, as stated by Dembélé in an interview with France Football. This is a record for PSG, which won the Champions League twice in a row. Dembélé believes that one of his teammates is likely to win the award, naming Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, João Neves, Willian Pacho, Fabián Ruiz, Ferran Torres, and Vitinha as potential winners.
The race for the Ballon d'Or is still open, with no clear favourite. Harry Kane, Lamine Yamal, and Kylian Mbappé are among the contenders, but Dembélé does not think any of them will win. The nominees for the Ballon d'Or include players from various top clubs, highlighting the depth of talent in the world of football.
The announcement of the Ballon d'Or winner is expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
