After the departure of Kylian Mbappé, many observers wondered how PSG would do to replace him. And it was ultimately Ousmane Dembélé who picked up the torch. The number 10 of PSG was also elected champion of champions France by L’EQUIPE. On the list, he succeeds Kylian Mbappé, the last footballer to be awarded.
The question of offensive leadership quickly arose in PSG after the departure of Kylian Mbappé. And we had to wait a few months to find the answer. Indeed, Ousmane Dembélérecruited for €50M during the summer of 2023, had an exceptional second half of the season in a false nine role, notably allowing the capital club to win the Champions League.
Dembélé elected champion of champions France
Performances which allowed him to win individual awards since he was elected Ballon d’Or and won The Best Trophy. But that’s not all. Like every year, the newspaper THE TEAM elects the champion of champions France who rewards the best athletes of the year. And it’s still Ousmane Dembélé who won this trophy ahead of Leon Marchand (Swimming) and Charlie Dallin (Veil).
Dembélé succeeds Mbappé, last awarded footballer
And this is no small feat since it is rare for team sports to be honored for this award awarded by THE TEAM since 1946. Moreover, Ousmane Dembélé succeeds Leon Marchandwho had won the two previous editions. But above all, number 10 of PSG becomes the first footballer named champion of champions France since Kylian Mbappé in 2022. Ousmane Dembélé is therefore indeed the successor to the captain of the France team from every point of view.
