Ousmane Dembélé of Paris Saint-Germain has been awarded the title of Best Player in the UEFA Champions League, just one day after his team's impressive win over Inter Milan in Munich. This recognition serves as a significant boost to the French international's ambitions for the prestigious Ballon d'Or award, which will be presented on September 22.
Dembélé finished the current season with 33 goals and 15 assists across various competitions, playing a crucial role in securing his team's first-ever Champions League title, a long-awaited achievement, in addition to winning the French league and domestic cup.
Spanish coach Luis Enrique found the magical formula for Dembélé, transforming him from a right winger into a "false nine," a position between a traditional striker and a playmaker. The Frenchman has been at the forefront of building attacks and delivering key final touches.
