The France international thus crowns a great 2025 in which he won five titles with the Parisian club, including the first Champions League in the club's history.
After last year's Ballon d'Or gala was a big surprise and created a lot of controversy when Rodri was named the winner of the award when everyone thought Vinicius was the favourite, the 2025 edition has not followed the same pattern.
The vast majority of fans had Ousmane Dembele as their favourite, who has been named winner of the 2025 Ballon d'Or ahead of Lamine Yamal and X. There were some doubts as to whether the 18-year-old Barcelona winger could take the award away from the Frenchman, but the PSG striker has been in such impressive form that it was inevitable that he would be the man of the night at the Théâtre du Châtelet.
