Journalist

After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial team of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.

PSG’s last season was exceptional, obviously with the Champions League as the highlight. Following this, Ousmane Dembélé received numerous individual awards such as the Ballon d’Or and The Best prize. The number 10 of PSG was thus honored for his remarkable performances. Enough to make Daniel Riolo react, who underlined the particular side of this situation.

In 2025, Ousmane Dembélé was able to completely transform itself. Having become a formidable scorer, the Frenchman then brought the PSG towards the summits and the coronation in the Champions League. The former Barça player then reaped the rewards of his performances. This is how Dembele’s notably won the Ballon d’Or ahead of Lamine Yamal or even The Best prize, enough to make him the best player in the world last year.

“He was rewarded individually for 6 months of competition”

Pour Canal Supporters, Daniel Riolo returned to these distinctions granted to Ousmane Dembélé. Enough to make him hallucinate a little since number 10 of the PSG was only really good for 6 months in the season: “ Dembélé obtained a trophy that was little talked about, The Best award. This guy, in one year, was Ballon d’Or and won this thing. Honestly, I don’t know if it’s ever happened that a player earned both of these rewards after only playing for 6 months. Finally, he played 6 months. From January to June 2025. He was rewarded individually for 6 months of competition ».

Dembélé is still hungry for 2026!

The year 2025Ousmane Dembélé will therefore have been exceptional. But now number 10 of PSG is not satisfied for 2026. “ When you win the Champions League once, you are a great team. But you become a champion when you can repeat that. I feel capable of it and I want to be a champion », he would explain in private according to France Football.
