PSG's Dembele Named UCL Player of the Season; PSG Dominates TOTY
Last Updated: The four non-PSG players in the team included Inter's defender Alessandro Bastoni, Arsenal's midfielder Declan Rice, and Barcelona's Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. Paris Saint-Germain striker Ousmane Dembele was named Champions League player of the season, as UEFA included seven members of the title-winning team in the competition's team of the season on Sunday. PSG secured the trophy for the first time by defeating Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich on Saturday. Dembele, who scored eight goals throughout the competition, did not find the net in the final but contributed two assists. 🏆 UEFA Champions League Player of the Season: Ousmane Dembélé! 👏 #UCL | @PSG_inside — UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) June 1, 2025 His overall performance drew praise from the UEFA Technical Observer Group. 'Dembele has embraced the role of a leader within the Paris Saint-Germain team, as demonstrated in the final by his intense work rate, pressing from the front," explained the committee. 'He consistently unsettled opponents with his intelligent movement, often dropping deep to strengthen his team's midfield." PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, defenders Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, and Nuno Mendes, along with midfielder Vitinha and teenage forward Desire Doue, who scored twice and assisted another goal in the final, were also named in the XI. The four non-PSG players in the team included Inter's defender Alessandro Bastoni, Arsenal's midfielder Declan Rice, and Barcelona's Raphinha, the season's joint top scorer, and Lamine Yamal. 'We selected these attacking players to reflect the exceptional mobility that was a hallmark of Paris Saint-Germain's victorious approach," stated the UEFA report. 'The chosen forward line represents a flexible team with attackers capable of interchanging positions." Doue, who was not a regular starter during PSG's challenging group stage, edged out 17-year-old Yamal to win the competition's young player award. 'Doue has been a revelation this season," said UEFA. 'He made an incredible breakthrough in the knockout phase, culminating in a Player of the Match performance in the final, becoming the first teenager to score twice in a final." Dembele's accolade could influence the Ballon d'Or voting, the annual global player-of-the-year award, which will be presented on September 22. 'I'd give the Ballon d'Or to Ousmane Dembele, simply for his defensive efforts," said PSG's Spanish coach after the victory on Saturday. Yamal, Raphinha, and Donnarumma are also considered strong contenders for the award. First Published: June 01, 2025, 22:42 IST

Messi's brilliance continues with 2 goals; Inter Miami beat Columbus 5-1
Inter Miami was in a midseason slump just a week ago. Lionel Messi made sure it didn't last long. Messi scored for the fifth time in three Major League Soccer matches to help Inter Miami rout the Columbus Crew 5-1 on Saturday night for its second straight win. Messi played a role each of Miami's goals. He scored twice in the 15th and 24th minutes giving him 10 goals this season, which leads his team and is tied for third in MLS. He set up Tadeo Allende's goal in the 13th, Faf Picault's in the 89th and was also involved in Luis Suarez's score in the 64th. That makes it two straight matches that the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner has recorded at least two goals and an assist. His 16 goal contributions are the most in the league. I see him every game. We see the same thing," Miami coach Javier Mascherano said through an interpreter. "We try to help him as much as we can. ... Clearly he is the best player that has ever played this game. And we have to understand that when he is not brilliant, that's because one of us is failing. That's the reality. Miami was the more aggressive team early. The Herons had seven shots four on goal in the first 25 minutes against a Columbus team that does not give up many. The Crew entered Saturday ranked eighth in MLS with just 19 goals allowed. Allende opened the scoring with a cross-body finish set up by Messi's long ball over the top. A few minutes later, Messi took advantage of a poor decision by goalkeeper Nicholas Hagen and lofted the ball over despite the keeper getting a hand on it. On Messi's second goal, Sergio Busquets set up his former Barcelona teammate for the second straight game, sending a long pass to a streaking Messi for an easy finish over Hagen. It was an important win for Miami, which entered Saturday with just two wins in its past eight matches and was sixth in the Eastern Conference. Miami beat Montreal 4-2 on Wednesday, and Saturday's win over Columbus put last year's Supporters' Shield winner in a tie for third place with 29 points in their final match before the start of next month's Club World Cup. Winning this way gives us confidence, Mascherano said. It shows that we're brave and calm and can play against anybody, especially in the MLS. The tournament is another story. The rivals are are different level. Miami will face Al Ahly of Egypt on June 14 at Hard Rock Stadium, the home stadium of the NFL's Miami Dolphins. Before that, Messi will join the Argentina national team for World Cup qualifiers against Chile on June 5 and Colombia on June 10. Saturday was the second match of the season between Columbus and Miami, winners of the last two League's Cup tournaments. Inter Miami also beat Columbus to win the Supporters' Shield in 2024. They were the only remaining undefeated teams in MLS when they met in front of a record crowd of 60,614 fans to Huntington Bank Field on April 19. It was a single-game record for a Crew home match and the largest non-NFL event in stadium history. Miami won 1-0. Columbus made it 3-1 when Dylan Chambost's corner was headed home by Cesar Ruvalcaba against goalkeeper Rocco Ros Novo, who replaced Oscar Ustari in the second half. Mascherano said Ustari was experiencing discomfort in his leg and the team didn't want to risk an injury. Suarez restored Miami's three-goal lead with his second goal in as many matches. And Messi fed a through ball to Picault in the closing minutes, stamping one of Miami's most dominant wins of the MLS season. Miami played without veteran left back Jordi Alba, who suffered a lower-body injury against Montreal on Wednesday.
