Gareth Bale’s Perspective on the Ballon d’Or
Gareth Bale has shared his perspective on the current frontrunner for this year’s Ballon d’Or, asserting that Paris Saint-Germain’s Ousmane Dembélé stands out significantly from the competition. As PSG gears up to clash with Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup final this Sunday, they aim to add yet another accolade to their impressive season.
PSG’s Dominance This Season
Underlining their dominance, the French team has already claimed the Ligue 1 title and secured their first Champions League victory in a stunning match against Inter Milan, winning 5-0 in May in Munich.
Dembélé’s Impact on PSG’s Success
Dembélé has been a pivotal player in their success this season, boasting a remarkable record with 35 goals and 16 assists across 53 games. The former star of Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, and the Welsh national team remarked on the significance of team achievements when it comes to awarding individual honors. He stated:
“I think you have to consider the titles won. While individual performances are crucial, Dembélé’s contributions have led PSG to win prestigious tournaments including the domestic treble. If they secure the Club World Cup as well, it will be tough to argue against him as the frontrunner based on the season he has had.”
PSG’s Trophy Cabinet Expansion
Besides the Ligue 1 and Champions League trophies, PSG’s trophy cabinet expanded this season to include the Coupe de France and Trophée des Champions. With the possibility of completing a clean sweep of trophies, Luis Enrique’s squad is poised for historic success should they triumph in the upcoming final.
