Winner of the Champions League last May 31 against Inter Milan (5-0), Paris Saint-Germain could see one of its players crowned with the Ballon d'Or. Notably Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward) or Achraf Hakimi (26-year-old right-back). At least, that's what Harry Kane, the 32-year-old Bayern Munich and England striker, thinks, as he mentioned to the press.
"The Ballon d'Or? To be honest, I haven't seen the list yet, but I think it will be a Paris Saint-Germain player who wins it. Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi have had very impressive seasons."
Logically, given both individual and collective performances, a PSG player should win the next Ballon d'Or. Even if this trophy is not the most significant in a team sport, for some, it carries considerable weight and value. It would still be interesting to set aside goal and assist statistics, and focus above all on the player's importance to the balance of his team.
A player like Achraf Hakimi, for example, was without a doubt the best player in the Champions League knockout stages on the Parisian side. Beyond the forwards, who are obviously important, it would also be interesting not to forget the other positions. Of course, Ousmane Dembélé had an outstanding season, but other players were also important even if they didn't shine through goals or technical skills.
