Dembélé's stellar performances have propelled him to the forefront of Ballon d'Or discussions. 

A recent poll by L'Équipe revealed that 40.9% of respondents believe Dembélé will win the prestigious award in 2025, surpassing other contenders like Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.

His statistics this season are impressive, with 33 goals and 12 assists across all competitions. 

Former Barcelona sporting director Robert Fernández defended Dembélé's time at the club, attributing his earlier struggles to a lack of patience and support.

In an interview with Diario Sport, Fernández said as per Cadena SER:

"We didn't have the necessary patience with Ousmane. Neither you, the press, nor us. Honestly, I think we mistreated this player a lot. I have to put it this way.”

 One of the reasons he also gave for the difference in Dembélé's level between Barcelona and PSG is his youth.

 "He didn't understand many things. He came very young, and look, I wanted him even two years earlier; he had extraordinary talent,"

 With his current form, Dembélé, a French international of Mauritanian descent, is poised to become the first Black footballer to win the Ballon d'Or since George Weah's historic win in 1995.
