Karim Benzema already has a French successor for the Ballon d’Or. Crowned in 2022, the former Madrilenian saw his former teammate in the French team Ousmane Dembélé win the most prestigious individual award this year. Few people thought that the Parisian could one day lift this trophy but his great season in Paris demonstrated the opposite, he who won most of the competitions. Enough to receive congratulations from KB9 in an interview with The Team. He himself admits that he didn’t believe it after the mixed spell at Barça.
«Ousmane Dembélé, we’re still talking about a guy who won the Ballon d’Or. And we don’t talk about it enough, in my opinion. Because what he did at PSG is unheard of. I think we don’t do enough about him. Because he’s the best player in the world, in fact. And we don’t highlight enough the season he had. Because he still comes from far away. He had a lot of injuries, his time at Barça… He wasn’t necessarily the guy about whom you say one day: “Maybe he’ll win the Ballon d’Or…” He was far from that. But, ultimately, he proved otherwise. So I really like this player.»
