The 2025 Ballon d’Or award is expected to go to one of Lamine Yamal or Ousmane Dembele, and the current Barcelona player appears to have boosted in his efforts to be crowned as the best footballer in the world later this year.
Lamine Yamal took a step towards the award after starring in Spain’s 5-4 victory over Dembele’s France in the UEFA Nations League semi-final earlier this week. He scored twice in Stuttgart, and he will go for a fourth trophy of the season when La Roja take on Portugal in Sunday’s final.
And another boost has been handed to the Barcelona and Spain man in this bid to win the Ballon d’Or. As per MD, Dembele suffered a thigh injury during Thursday’s match, and the early signs suggest that he will miss a significant portion of this summer’s Club World Cup in the United States.
Dembele has already been ruled out of Sunday’s UEFA Nations League 3rd/4th place play-off between France and Germany, and according to the report, there is a good chance that he is unavailable for PSG’s three group stages matches in the Club World Cup. If this is the case, it’d be good news for Atletico Madrid, who are one of the European champions’ opponents in the United States.
In the event that PSG do not win the Club World Cup, Dembele’s chances of the Ballon d’Or are likely to decrease – especially if he is not involved because of injury. In turn, that would be good news for Lamine Yamal in his own bid to win the 2025 award, although Cristiano Ronaldo believes that the France international should win regardless of what happens this summer.
It remains to be seen whether Dembele can play in the Club World Cup, but those associated with Barcelona – and Atletico Madrid – will hope not.

Cristiano will always support anyone as long it's not barca. Lamine Yamal is outstanding this season, you can't take it away from him. Either way, all barca products.
That's true, either way. I'm pretty sure it will be a tricky one to pick the ballon dor especially as Spain progresses in the Euros.

some Barcelona fans are so delusional and I always get headaches when I read their messages. Dembele was the best player of league 1, won a treble, took psg on his shoulders against the big clubs and you're concluding his performance with a single performance against Spain and in that mediocre nations league

The Balon dor period is judged from 1st August 2024 to 31st July 2025. Winning CL is no guarentee if there are international competions afterwards. You have to perform at a high level throughtout that period Dembele only started performing in January and has not scored in two mths so therefore Yamal has the edge he has been consistent with his club and National team scoring goals and creating assists.
u seyd goals are nothing wen it came to Cr7

without individual ,club and country trophy how can you say a player is good enough for Ballon d'or.i think you don't know who's the laliga player of the season, best player and top scorer and champion league player of the season, best player and top scorer and many more...... but flop player dembele get ligue one top scorer , champion league best player it's only his individual trophy remember this

Yamal was amazing this season but Ballandor? come on! He can have golden boy, young player of the year, all those awards. He deserves them. But Ballondor? NO! Salah, Mbappe and Dembele all had better seasons. Dembele has upper hand due to CL trophy!
The National League trophy will boost Yamal chance of winning the ballon d'or.

It's not about Ronaldo but the truth. Look at Player's individual & collective team Stats. Dembele was best player in Ligue 1 while Raphinha was best player in La Liga not Lamine Yamal......that is one. Dembele was best player in UCL....that is 2. Dembele won 3 Trophies domestically & added UCL while Lamine Yamal won say 3 domestically....UCL difference. In Goals contributions throughout the season is still Dembele. Dembele being the centre of PSG winning the UCL making history.....is another factor. Dembele deserves this Ballon D'or

Yamal did not do enough to be in the first 3. I mean a kid with only 9 goals in la liga and not even 6 in Champions League can never win balon dor. He has no numbers to back him up. Save this comment, Yamal can not win balon dor. He will perhaps win it someday, but not this yr

But Yamal knocked Mbappe and Dembele out together one night, so didn't be shamelessly shameless. Tomorrow, Yamal will force Cristiano to retire so you will understand that the boy is not playing at all.
did yamal knock them out or Spain I'm confused

It can only be with and not will. Dembele for the Ballon D'or. Dembele had a better season both Local & at European Competition than Lamine Yamal. Yamal will win bets young player category.

why not talking of messi,busquets who succeeded,au God?
Messi succeeded yes and Busquets did amazingly and showed consistently that he is a great player. don't get me wrong Yamal is an exceptional talent but he is still young for all this.

You are so obsessed with Messi. Let him rest bro. They are only talking about two different players here yamal and dembele not Messi. Anyways you can call Messi over the phone you have his phone number. To go and take it again. Wake up Ronaldo fan and follow another player in Europe Ronaldo is getting old.
