Ousmane Dembélé's career reached extraordinary heights after his 2024–25 resurgence. He became the tenth player in history to win the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Champions League, and Ballon d'Or — a feat that places him among the all-time greats. His 2025 Ballon d'Or win made him the first French recipient since Karim Benzema in 2022, and he followed it with a second consecutive Champions League title in 2026. Dembélé's transformation from an injury-prone winger into a prolific central forward under Luis Enrique is one of the most remarkable comebacks in modern football. His 33 goals in the 2024–25 season, including key strikes in the Champions League knockout stages, cemented his legacy as a big-game player.
