On September 22, Ousmane Dembélé made history by winning the 2025 Ballon d'Or , after an exceptional season with PSG . The Parisian winger won everything: Champions League, Ligue 1 , Coupe de France, Trophée des Champions and European Super Cup. A magical year, rewarded by the most prestigious individual distinction in world football. His friend in the French national team, Dayot Upamecano , could not hold back his emotion. In the columns of Le Parisien , the Bayern Munich defender confided that he had shed a little tear.
"We went to the same school, we played on the same pitches, I played against him in CM1-CM2. Honestly, I don't have the words! We all knew he would become a great player, but still... When I saw him lift the Ballon d'Or, it brought tears to my eyes. I should have been there for the ceremony, but I couldn't come. Seeing him thank his mother , his family, his friends, everyone who was there... It was a magnificent moment." Absent from the ceremony, Upamecano admits to having been deeply touched by his friend's speech
