After Paris Saint-Germain’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Real Madrid, PSG manager Luis Enrique heaped praise on Ousmane Dembélé, calling him “the best player this season by a mile” and a leading contender for the Ballon d’Or.
Dembélé was electric on the night, scoring the second goal in PSG’s statement win. His pace, vision, and creativity tormented the Madrid defense, further cementing his resurgence under Enrique’s management.
Speaking after the match, the PSG boss said:
“Ousmane has been simply unstoppable this season. He’s the best player in the world right now by a mile. Performances like tonight show why he deserves to win everything — and for me, that includes the Ballon d’Or.”
The 28-year-old winger has enjoyed a stellar campaign, combining flair with end product, and has been instrumental in PSG’s dominance both domestically and in Europe.
With the Ballon d’Or race heating up, Dembélé’s consistent brilliance and big-game performances may have just given him the edge.
