Ousmane Dembele has achieved his long-held dream of winning the Ballon d'Or, a feat that seemed unlikely during his tumultuous career filled with injuries and doubts about his professionalism. After joining Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in August 2023, Dembele excelled, contributing significantly to the team's treble win in the 2024-25 season with 35 goals and 14 assists. His transformation was catalyzed by Kylian Mbappe's exit, which allowed him to take on a more prominent role as a false nine. Personal changes, including marriage and fatherhood, also played a crucial role in his newfound focus on fitness and nutrition. Dembele's journey reflects resilience and the impact of personal growth on professional success.
