The Ballon d’Or 2025 will be unveiled this Monday! For the occasion, the French editorial staff of OneFootball has taken part in the voting game to elect its Ballon d’OF for the 2024-25 season. Today, Monday, Ballon d’Or day, it’s finally time to discover our OneFootball Ballon…
Winner of the OneFootball Ballon: Ousmane Dembélé
The entire French editorial staff of OneFootball placed the same name in first position: OUSMANE DEMBÉLÉ!
The French international had the best season of his career. Dembélé was the statistical leader, the technical leader, the offensive leader… but also the defensive leader of the best team in the world last season, Paris Saint-Germain.
His remarkable and noticed pressing on Yann Sommer and Inter’s defenders in the Champions League final illustrates the player Ousmane Dembélé has become.
In 2024-25, the Parisian number 10 simply embraced this role of “franchise player” usually reserved for basketball and the NBA. Dembélé was the one who initiated, who woke up, who unlocked, who relieved. The jack of all trades of a historic PSG.
The striking stats of Dembélé’s 2024-25 season:
10th: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (4 points)
8th: Kylian Mbappé (21 points)
7th: Gianluigi Donnarumma (22 points)
6th: Mohamed Salah (32 points)
4th: Achraf Hakimi (53 points)
3rd: Raphinha (54 points)
2nd: Lamine Yamal (55 points)
From the list of 30 finalists established by France Football, the seven members of our editorial staff defined their top 10. 10 points for the 1st, 9 points for the 2nd, 8 for the 3rd, etc…
The scores were accumulated and the ranking established according to the total number of points won by the players. In case of a tie, the player who achieved the highest position ranks first.
