'We realised…' – Ousmane Dembele recalls first impression of Ballon d'Or rival Lamine Yamal
It looks like the winner of the 2025 Ballon d'Or will either be a current Barcelona player, or a former one. Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Raphinha are all seen as candidates, but the one seen as the favourite at this stage is Ousmane Dembele. Dembele, who left Barcelona in 2023, had a sensational 2024-25 season with Paris Saint-Germain, whom he helped win a historic treble – which included their first-ever Champions League. And things could get better still, as the European champions are competing in this summer's Club World Cup. Advertisement And when speaking to France Football (via Sempre Barca), Dembele gave his thoughts on a possible Ballon d'Or success. 'It's difficult to say (if I will win). But winning a Ballon d'Or when you're a footballer is obviously the holy grail on an individual level. It's something you dream of as a child. I remember when I saw the players appear in Téléfoot to receive him. It was incredible. The object – the ball – is exceptional. 'This season I think I've been consistent, so we'll see what happens. It would be exceptional to have my name on the list. And to be one of the favourites is already a great victory, although I hope to win it one day.' Image viaAdvertisement Lamine Yamal is seen as Dembele's main rival for the award, and during the interview, he reminisced about his first impressions of the 17-year-old sensation, whom was played alongside briefly at Barcelona. 'They were already talking about him from a very young age in Barcelona. When he reached the professional team, we realised that he was exceptional and reached another level. In training, he would dribble, assist, and score.' Dembele also spoke on the impact that former Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique, who has had a monumental impact at PSG. 'With a coach like Luis Enrique, you know that if you don't defend, you go to the bench, and someone will take your place. For me, a striker should not cheat, he should make efforts all the time, both defensively and offensively, to help the team, not just when we attack. Thanks to that, PSG became European champions: we all defended and we all attacked.'

The five youngest goalscorers in a Champions League final
Paris Saint-Germain are champions of Europe for the first time after thrashing Inter Milan in the Champions League final. The Parisians secured a record-breaking 5-0 win in Munich, courtesy of contributions from some exhilarating young talent. Just twice previously had a teenager scored in a final during the Champions League era, but PSG saw three of their five goals scored by players under the age of 20. Advertisement Following an unforgettable final, we've ranked the five youngest scorers in Champions League finals. The five youngest goalscorers in a Champions League final 5. Lars Ricken – Borussia Dortmund, 1997 (20Y 10M 18D) Borussia Dortmund were crowned European champions for the first time in 1996/97, after beating defending champions Juventus 3-1 in Munich. Lars Ricken sealed the win with a stunning third goal, netting just 16 seconds after his introduction from the bench. After racing onto a through ball, Ricken chipped Angelo Peruzzi from distance with his very first touch to net the fastest-ever Champions League final goal by a substitute. 4. Desire Doue – Paris Saint-Germain, 2025 (19Y 11M 28D) Desire Doue became the first teenager to score twice in a Champions League final after starring during Paris Saint-Germain's 5-0 win over Inter Milan in 2025. The winger set up Achraf Hakimi's opener for the French side, before smashing home a deflected second just eight minutes later. He capped a man-of-the-match performance to net the third, as the Parisian side secured the biggest-ever final win. Advertisement 3. Carlos Alberto – FC Porto, 2004 (19Y 5M 15D) Carlos Alberto netted the opening goal as FC Porto thrashed AS Monaco 3-0 to win the Champions League under Jose Mourinho in 2004. The Portuguese side upset the odds to be crowned European champions, with the 19-year-old scoring a stunning opener. The striker's snap-shot found the top corner after 39 minutes, but it proved the highlight of a Porto career that failed to reach great heights. He netted just five times in 34 appearances for the club before leaving for Corinthians. 2. Senny Mayulu – Paris Saint-Germain, 2025 (19Y 14D) Senny Mayulu turned 19 just two weeks ago but now has a Champions League final goal on his résumé. Brought on in the 84th minute of PSG's win over Inter Milan, he scored only three minutes later. An incredible moment for the teenager born in the Paris suburbs, with sheer disbelief etched across his face. 1. Patrick Kluivert – Ajax, 1995 (18Y 10M 23D) Patrick Kluivert holds the record as the youngest-ever Champions League final scorer. Advertisement The Dutchman's memorable moment came in the 1995 final, as an inexperienced Ajax beat holders AC Milan. Just a year on from Milan's famous 4-0 win over Barcelona in the decider, Kluivert came off the bench to down the Rossoneri in Vienna. The 18-year-old prodded home with just five minutes to go to seal Ajax's fourth European crown.
