Dembélé’s success is more than just a single award, in the eyes of many.
His move to Paris led to a new level of performance, which led to an unheard-of season of success after a Barcelona career that was plagued by injuries and inconsistent behavior.
Dembélé, 28, took the title from Barcelona and Spain’s Lamine Yamal, who was the trophy’s winner in 2024, replacing Rodri and Manchester City’s midfielder Rodri.
Donnarumma wins the Yachine Trophy
Gianluigi Donnarumma, the best goalkeeper in the world for 2025, was given the prestigious Yachine Trophy.

Four years after winning the prize, the Italian international’s triumph at the glittering Ballon d’Or ceremony represents a remarkable return to his former best, highest position.
His victory puts an end to Emiliano Martnez’ two-year rule and a change of guard among the world’s elite goalkeepers.
