Dembele Named UEFA’s Best Player After Stunning Season With PSG

Ousmane Dembélé has been crowned UEFA Champions League Player of the Season following a sensational campaign that helped Paris Saint-Germain lift their first-ever European title with a 5–0 thrashing of Inter Milan in the final.
The French winger was one of seven PSG stars named in UEFA’s Team of the Season, highlighting the club’s dominance throughout the tournament. Dembélé scored eight goals and was praised for his work rate, leadership, and transformation under manager Luis Enrique. “He deserves the Ballon d’Or,” Enrique said after the final.
Teen sensation Désiré Doué, who scored and assisted twice in the final, was named Young Player of the Season. The rest of the PSG contingent in the Best XI includes Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, and Vitinha.
Completing the UEFA Best XI were Alessandro Bastoni (Inter Milan), Declan Rice (Arsenal), and Barcelona duo Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
PSG’s historic Champions League triumph also secured a continental treble and cemented Luis Enrique’s status as one of football’s managerial greats.
