Ousmane Dembele targets historic Ballon d’Or double

Ousmane Dembele is finishing the season in scorching form and has fully reclaimed his status as Paris Saint-Germain’s main attacking leader.

According to L’Équipe, the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner now has a clear double mission: carry PSG back to another Champions League final and keep his hands on football’s most prestigious individual prize.

His performance in the thrilling 5-4 win over Bayern Munich on Tuesday underlined that ambition. Dembele struck twice and added an assist, driving Paris forward every time he touched the ball and confirming his role as the reference point in Luis Enrique’s attack. At this stage of the season, when every action can tilt a tie, his influence has become impossible to ignore.

For the French winger, the roadmap is simple: take PSG all the way to Budapest and complete a historic back-to-back in the Champions League. Achieving that would also put him in pole position for another Ballon d’Or, offering him a personal back-to-back to match the team’s European dream. With the return leg in Munich looming, all signs point to another epic showdown in which Dembele will once again be at the heart of PSG’s hopes.
