France coach Didier Deschamps has expressed strong support for Ousmane Dembélé as a contender for the prestigious Ballon d'Or award. After Dembélé's impressive performance in helping Paris Saint-Germain win the Champions League, Deschamps emphasized his belief that the French winger deserves the accolade over Spain's Lamine Yamal. The results of the upcoming UEFA Nations League match could further influence perceptions of the award. Deschamps remains optimistic about Dembélé’s participation in the semifinal and acknowledges the fatigue of players following the Champions League final.
"Of course I am for Ousmane, since he is French and with the season he is celebrating. If I have to choose, I tell you Ous, 100%, of course."
"This Nations League can bring some elements of response, the Club World Cup too. But obviously, Ousmane, with the season he is having, deserves it."
