Battle of Ballon d'Or favourites - Yamal v Dembele in Nations League
Ousmane Dembele and Lamine Yamal, the two favourites for the Ballon d'Or, go head to head in Thursday's Nations League France and Yamal's Spain meet in Stuttgart (20:00 BST) for a place in Sunday's final against Portugal - after the conclusion of remarkable domestic seasons for well as impressing for their clubs, both netted in their country's respective Nations League quarter-final played down any suggestion this match would have an impact in the Ballon d'Or decision - with the winner announced on 22 September in Paris."If you were voting for the Ballon d'Or, would you choose the best player of the year, or the one who wins the match on Thursday?" the 17-year-old told El Partidazo de COPE."Whether we win or not, I would vote for the best player of the year. "I'm not thinking about the trophy or whether I'm going to win. You'll do badly if you think you have to win it. What I do is play and try to win."BBC Sport compares their stats and looks at the seasons that two of the most exciting forwards in world football have just completed. How the stats compare for 2024-25 Paris St-Germain forward Dembele is well clear of Barcelona winger Yamal for goals (33 v 18) but the Spaniard beats his French rival for assists (21 v 13).Across all competitions, Yamal, despite being 11 years younger, played significantly more than Dembele this season - 4,548 to 3,286 minutes - and in a tougher league in terms of the general level of has taken more shots overall (but fewer per 90 minutes) while Dembele's conversion rate is much Yamal ranks much higher for dribbles than Dembele, with a higher success rate on them Spaniard has won possession more times, tackled more and won more duels than the terms of trophies, both won their domestic double, plus their Community Shield equivalents - and Dembele lifted the Champions League. Dembele's career revival Dembele delivering the season he has had would have been unthinkable even seven months ago, and winning the Ballon d'Or would complete one of football's greatest season has already resulted in the 28-year-old being named the Champions League's player of the season and the Ligue 1 Golden Boot career looked destined to be one of of unfulfilled potential, and he has admitted himself for years he lacked professionalism. He once cost Barcelona a fee of £96.8m, potentially rising to £ before this season he had only managed double figures for goals in a league campaign once, his first in senior football for Rennes (12 goals in 2015-16).Maybe he was best known in England for missing the chance to put Barca 4-0 up in their 2019 Champions League semi-final, with the Reds going on to win 4-3 on approaching the halfway point of the season, he was only having a fairly average one by his standards - with five goals before playing Lyon on 15 everything changed that day as Luis Enrique moved him from his more accustomed right-wing berth to play him at centre forward - and he netted in a 3-1 was part of a run of 18 goals in 10 games. After that he chipped in goals at a regular with a return of one goal in his final 10 games of the season, he ended on 33 - with 21 in the league making him Ligue 1's top has also performed for his country, netting in Nations League wins over Belgium and Croatia - doubling his tally of competitive goals in a France also managed 13 assists for PSG, including two in the record-breaking 5-0 Champions League final win over Inter Milan."I would give the Ballon d'Or to Mr Ousmane Dembele," PSG boss Luis Enrique said in Munich."The way he defended, just that alone could be worth the Ballon d'Or. That's how you lead a team: goals, trophies, leadership, defence, his pressing."Unlike Yamal, Dembele still has the Fifa Club World Cup to play in this summer to cement his claims. Yamal's unprecedented campaign Yamal is achieving things few 17-year-olds have ever done his 18th birthday - which he will celebrate on 13 July - he has already won the European Championship with Spain, La Liga, the Copa del Rey, plus a Spanish Super Cup while in the colours of has actually won two La Liga titles, as he played once as a 15-year-old in in the space of two years his influence has grown significantly as Yamal, who has already passed 100 appearances for Barcelona, scored 18 goals and made 25 assists in 55 games this was named in the Champions League team of the year after some remarkable displays - including in the thrilling semi-final defeat by Inter Milan."Lamine is the kind of talent that comes along every 50 years, and to see him up close really impressed me," said opposition manager Simone Inzaghi."He caused us huge problems because we were supposed to double up on him and it wasn't enough."It is not just the quantity of Yamal's goals but the quality and big-game nature of netted three goals in four Clasicos against Real Madrid this season, plus a fantastic strike in that epic tie against he struck in the Nations League quarter-final against the CIES Football Observatory recently valued him at 400m euros (£340m).Yamal recently signed a new six-year deal with Barca, and BBC pundit Stephen Warnock called him "a future Ballon d'Or winner".Brazil legend Ronaldo is the youngest winner of the award at the age of 21 - so Yamal has three attempts to break that record.

A brush with Cezanne in Aix-en-Provence, France: a blockbuster retrospective comes to town
Paul Cezanne is everywhere in Aix-en-Provence: there are streets named after him as well as a school, a cinema and even a sandwich (a version of traditional pan bagnat but with goat's cheese instead of tuna). And from late June, the whole city will go Cezanne mad, as the painter's atelier, north of the centre, and the family home to the west reopen after an eight-year restoration. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. But during Cezanne's lifetime, and for years after his death in 1906, Aix seemed at pains to ignore the artist later called the 'father of modern art'. When his widow, Hortense, offered several paintings to the city's main Musée Granet, director Henri Pontier declared that Cezanne paintings would enter the gallery only over his dead body. This year, however (with Pontier dead almost a century), Aix is making up for its neglect with a blockbuster exhibition at Musée Granet to accompany the unveiling of Cezanne's studio and the estate bought by the artist's family in 1859. The retrospective will bring together more than 130 works, including still lifes, portraits and landscapes. The paintings were all made in and around the Bastide du Jas de Bouffan, which was a refuge and inspiration for the painter for 40 years. Cezanne's banker father acquired the 18th-century mansion with its farm and 15 hectares (37 acres) from a bankrupt client. Disappointed that his only son had no interest in finance, he still let young Paul use the ground floor grand salon as a workspace. By 2017, however, the house had fallen into disrepair and was closed for a long renovation. Its grand opening is on 28 June, but we grab a sneak preview. Though now in an Aix suburb (20 minutes from the centre, or a few minutes on bus no 8), it's a charming place, three serene storeys in five hectares of verdant grounds, its shutters painted in Aix's signature grey-blue. Inside, projections on the walls of the grand salon recreate the paintings (later chiselled off and sold) young Cezanne made on the walls, including a 'four seasons' fresco. His card players series – one of which set a record in 2011 for the highest price ever paid for a work of art – was painted here, as was an 1866 portrait of Cezanne père reading a newspaper. (The artist and his family never used an accent on the first 'e' of their name: Cézanne seems to have been a later, Parisian invention.) The family later made a studio for Paul on the second floor, and its tall window, higher than the roofline, can be seen from the front. The kitchen and Madame Cezanne's bedroom can also be visited. Daily guided tours of the interior (available in English) will cost from €9.50, but if these sell out, a ticket just for the grounds is still rewarding. For many fans, Cezanne's genius lies in his outdoor works, and they come to life in the extensive gardens. There's the chestnut avenue he painted, the farm buildings and, most evocative for me, the square bassin (pond) that features in dozens of pictures. I'm excited to spot the lion and dolphin statues seen in several canvases, the lions with their bums in the air. (The majestic plane trees and orangery were added by later owners.) After his father died in 1886 and the estate was sold, Cezanne built his atelier in Les Lauves, then a rural area north of Aix, with views to the mountain that had long been his muse, Mont Sainte-Victoire. The 1,000-metre-high limestone ridge can be viewed from many points, including the roof terrace of our hotel, the Escaletto (doubles from €105) on the edge of the old town. It's a 15-minute walk from here to the atelier, up a road now called Avenue Paul Cézanne. The traditional-style house sits on rising ground, with kitchen and living areas on the ground floor; the first floor is one huge, high-ceilinged studio, with a full-height, north-facing window. This was his last workplace, where he painted the Bathers series, one of which is in London's National Gallery. After further renovations next winter, the lower floor will have displays including the artist's coat, palette and satchel. If Aix had mixed feelings about its famous son, those seem to have been mutual. Of the 1,000-plus paintings Cezanne left, just one is of the city: a watercolour of the fountain in Place de la Mairie. However, he made hundreds in the countryside around, including over 80 of Mont Sainte-Victoire. So the best way to find Cezanne's Provence is to get out of Aix. Between the city and the mountain is Bibémus quarry, source of the creamy ochre stone that has built Aix since Roman times. The bus trip there (no 6) is like a ride through a thousand paintings. These wooded hills are all protected, and daily tickets (from the tourist office) include a shuttle from the terminus at Les Trois Bons Dieux. What pictures can't convey is the loud birdsong, southern heat and early summer scents of pine and broom. Cezanne made 27 paintings here, developing his pre-cubist style and trademark palette of blue, green and ochre. Reproductions of paintings around the quarry show the vantage point from which they were made – and their current homes: this one now in New York, others in San Francisco, Philadelphia, Baltimore … Sign up to The Traveller Get travel inspiration, featured trips and local tips for your next break, as well as the latest deals from Guardian Holidays after newsletter promotion US tourists in Europe may not feel their homeland offers much to be proud of right now, but in Aix they can reflect with satisfaction that it was thanks to US collectors that Cezanne's fame spread and his legacy was preserved. The atelier would have been demolished for housing had a group of US collectors not saved it in 1952. And an American artist, George Bunker, bought the Bibémus quarry in 1954 and left it to the city when he died in 1991, on condition that the land be protected and open to visitors. Canadian sculptor David Campbell, now in his late 80s, with wizard-like white hair, was a friend of Bunker's and has lived here in a quarryman's cottage for 40 years. We spy him exercising on the edge of the site and he later shows us some of his fluid works in white limestone, plus masterly recreations of medieval masonry. The Red Rock (c.1895, now in Paris's Musée de l'Orangerie) is one of the best-known Cezanne quarry paintings, and the small post at the bottom left is still there today. But the site calls to my mind another in the National Gallery, with, unusually, a figure in white shirt and blue trousers dwarfed by a wall of orange rock. Visitors can also book a 6pm visit to Bibémus to enjoy the setting sun on Mont Sainte-Victoire (€17pp) or a half-day electric bike tour from Aix (€90pp including bike hire). The area may close unexpectedly, however, if mistral winds increase the risk of wildfires. One town the artist did choose to paint is Gardanne, around seven miles from Aix (eight minutes by train). Here, Cezanne tourism is more informal. A plaque on the main street, Cours Forbin, shows where he lived with his wife and son for a productive year in 1885-6. Nearby Colline des Frères (Brothers' Hill) was an open-air studio for Cezanne, and a free-to-visit walking route includes reproductions of paintings of his favourite mountain, with Gardanne and its bell tower in the foreground. (Power station cooling towers do detract slightly from today's view.) Again, these works are almost all now in the US – one even in the White House. The local tourist office does guided tours (€10, in English) on Fridays in July and August. There are no hotels in Gardanne, but a self-catering let meant we could make the most of the extensive street market under towering plane trees on Cours Forbin (Weds, Fri and Sun). I'm pleased to learn that the square blobs on the right of at least two of Cezanne's Gardanne paintings are windmills, which still stand. We climb north up Cativel hill and find three mills, one still with its sails, and the date 1567 over the door. They're on a gorgeous rolling hillside glowing in Cezanne colours, with interlocking shadows of umbrella pines completing the painterly scene. Aix may be all about Cezanne this year, but closer encounters may well be found off the main tourist trail. Cezanne at Jas de Bouffan opens 28 June and runs until 12 October at Musée Granet. The trip was provided by Aix-en-Provence tourism
