"The 28-year-old France forward scored 35 goals and made 14 assists in 53 matches for PSG last season as they won the treble, including their first Champions League. He was the joint top scorer in Ligue 1, with 21 goals, and named the French top flight and Champions League player of the year. And he also helped PSG to the Club World Cup final where they lost to Chelsea in New Jersey."
"PSG manager Luis Enrique who was named coach of the year - deserves huge credit for Dembele's award because of a tactical switch in mid-December. He moved Dembele from a wide right to centre-forward role against Lyon on 15 December, by which stage he had only scored five goals. He hit 30 goals for PSG from that date onwards. It caps off a sensational career revival."
Ousmane Dembele won the Ballon d'Or after a season in which he scored 35 goals and provided 14 assists in 53 matches for Paris Saint-Germain. PSG secured a treble that included their first Champions League title, and Dembele was joint top scorer in Ligue 1 with 21 goals. He was named Ligue 1 and Champions League player of the year and contributed to PSG reaching the Club World Cup final. A mid-December positional switch to centre-forward by coach Luis Enrique sparked a surge, with Dembele scoring 30 goals from that date. He attended the ceremony despite injury and tears; Lamine Yamal finished second.
