Kylian Mbappé Backs Ousmane Dembélé for 2025 Ballon d’Or Victory

The anticipation is building as the world eagerly awaits the announcement of the Ballon d’Or France Football 2025 winner. The grand ceremony is set to take place at Paris’ iconic Théâtre du Châtelet.

Top contenders for the coveted title

As the event draws near, several standout candidates have emerged as frontrunners for this year’s prestigious award. Among them are Ousmane Dembélé, Lamine Yamal, and Achraf Hakimi, each showcasing exceptional talent and skill in their respective roles.

Kylian Mbappé shares his thoughts on the potential winner

In a recent appearance on the television program Telefoot, Kylian Mbappé, the captain of the French national team, expressed his views on who should take home the coveted trophy. **”Ousmane Dembélé deserves it, without a doubt,”** he stated, adding that he would personally deliver the award to Dembélé if he could. Mbappé also expressed hope that **Achraf Hakimi would be well recognized, emphasizing the importance of valuing defenders.** As for Lamine Yamal, Mbappé acknowledged his talent but humorously noted, **”Well, he’s a Barcelona player,”** yet still praised him as an excellent player.

Mbappé’s position in the rankings

Despite his impressive individual statistics, it seems unlikely that **Kylian Mbappé will claim the Ballon d’Or France Football 2025 title.** This season with Real Madrid hasn’t been his best, and the dream of securing the prestigious award might elude him once more. **He might even find himself outside the top 5 in the rankings,** as players like Dembélé, Yamal, Hakimi, Raphinha, Vitinha, and Mo Salah could potentially outshine him. The final results will be revealed on September 22.
