Ousmane Dembélé, the young and energetic star of Paris Saint-Germain, answered questions about the Ballon d'Or in an engaging interview. Having won this prestigious title last year, he made a somewhat sarcastic reference to his teammate, Kylian Mbappé, in his recent interview.
Ballon d'Or voting; an exciting game
In this interview, Dembélé pointedly remarked that he would never vote for himself. This statement clearly reflects the intense rivalry between him and Mbappé. In the world of football, the voting for the Ballon d'Or is not only seen as a mark of superiority but has also turned into a personal and media competition. With this jab, Dembélé has somewhat addressed the question of who the real winner in this rivalry will be.
Mbappé; rival and teammate
Kylian Mbappé, who is also one of the main contenders for this year's Ballon d'Or, has not always been overshadowed by Dembélé, and both players have drawn attention with their outstanding performances on the football field. Despite the fierce competition, these two players have managed to be a successful team together at Paris Saint-Germain.
With these statements, Dembélé indicates that the Ballon d'Or winner is more than just a title, and in fact, emotions and internal group rivalries also play a role in this matter. Could Dembélé's jabs at Mbappé lead to a more serious competition on the football field between these two players? Time will answer this question, but it seems both players are ready to show who deserves the top title.
