Dembélé and Bonmati: Football stars celebrate the balloon d'Or 2025!
The Ballon d’Or Awards 2025 took place on September 22nd in the heart of France and duly brought out outstanding achievements in football. Ousmane Dembélé, the French player from FC Barcelona, and Aitana Bonmati from Spain were awarded the prestigious balloon d’Or. Dembélé thus replaces Rodri from Manchester City, who largely missed the previous season due to a cruciate ligament injury. Despite his absence, due to a thigh injury, Dembélé was visibly emotional and was taken during his acceptance speech, such as [Kleine Zeitung] (https://www.kleinezeitung.at/service/newsticker/20128133/franzose-embele-und-spanermati-gnen- Ballon-dor).

These awards are not only a sign of individual brilliance, but also an expression of the ongoing competition and excellence in football. Bonmati and Dembélé were elected by jurors who have compiled the votes for the award.
