Ousmane Dembélé Crowned Champions League Player of the Season After Leading PSG to Historic Triumph
Ousmane Dembélé has been named the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League Player of the Season, following an outstanding campaign that saw him play a pivotal role in securing Paris Saint-Germain's first-ever title in the competition. PSG delivered a commanding 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the final, capping off a historic season under coach Luis Enrique’s leadership.
Throughout the tournament, Dembélé demonstrated both consistency and flair, contributing 8 goals and 6 assists across 15 matches. His dynamic presence in the attacking line and ability to adapt tactically helped drive PSG’s success. Once seen as a player with unrealized potential, he has emerged as a central figure and leader on the field, transforming his reputation with hard work and determination.
Dembélé’s journey to the top wasn't without challenges. He faced disciplinary setbacks earlier in the group stage but responded with key performances in crucial knockout matches, including a hat-trick against Stuttgart and a decisive goal versus Manchester City. His influence extended beyond offense, as he also contributed defensively and applied constant pressure on opponents, showcasing his full commitment to the team.
With standout statistics such as a top speed of 33.92 km/h and a total distance of over 126 km covered during the competition, Dembélé proved his physical and technical value. His recognition places him alongside past greats like Karim Benzema and Vinícius Júnior, and strengthens his case for future honors like the Ballon d'Or. His resurgence also symbolizes PSG’s evolution from a team reliant on individual stars to one built on teamwork and tactical unity.
