Official: Ousmane Dembélé Crowned Ligue 1 Player of the Season
Paris, May 2025 — It’s official. Ousmane Dembélé has been named the Ligue 1 Player of the Season, capping off a stunning campaign with Paris Saint-Germain that silenced the doubters and re-established him as one of the most electrifying talents in world football.
After years of highs, lows, and injury setbacks, Dembélé’s 2024/25 season has been nothing short of a renaissance. The French winger dazzled week in and week out, blending blistering pace, jaw-dropping dribbling, and clinical decision-making to lead PSG to domestic dominance.

A Season to Remember
In 29 league appearances, Dembélé racked up 11 goals and 14 assists, becoming PSG’s creative heartbeat and a nightmare for defenders across France. His chemistry with the likes of Kylian Mbappé and Warren Zaïre-Emery lit up Ligue 1, while his consistency finally matched his undeniable talent.
Beyond the numbers, it was Dembélé’s impact in big moments—decisive passes, game-breaking runs, and moments of pure magic—that elevated him above the competition. He was a game-changer, a match-winner, and now, officially, the best player in the league.

A Long Road Back
This award is more than just recognition—it’s a redemption arc. Dembélé’s career has been marked by potential interrupted by persistent injuries during his time at Barcelona. But his return to Ligue 1 with PSG last year sparked a revival, and this season confirmed that the boy from Vernon is back—and better than ever.
His professionalism, improved decision-making, and relentless work off the ball have made him not just a flashy winger, but a complete, mature attacking force.

What They’re Saying
PSG manager Luis Enrique hailed Dembélé as “a genius with the ball and a leader by example,” while French football legends have praised his transformation and resilience.
Fans, meanwhile, have embraced him like never before. Once considered inconsistent, Dembélé is now the face of PSG’s post-Mbappé era and a symbol of French football’s bright future.

What’s Next?
With the UEFA Euro 2024 around the corner, all eyes now turn to Dembélé’s role in Didier Deschamps’ France squad. If his Ligue 1 form is anything to go by, Les Bleus have a secret weapon ready to explode on the international stage.
