Yamal sacré, Dembélé loin du podium: les surprenantes projections pour le Ballon d’or d’un outil statistique
According to a statistical study by the CIES Football Observatory, Barça and La Roja winger Lamine Yamal will be crowned Ballon d'Or this Monday evening in Paris. While Kylian Mbappé ranks second, Ousmane Dembélé, despite being the favorite, only appears in 7th place.
The suspense is total. Just hours before the Ballon d'Or ceremony at the Théâtre du Châtelet on Monday evening in Paris, it's difficult to know who will succeed Rodri as the winner of the most prestigious individual trophy. However, two names seem to be emerging: Ousmane Dembélé, who had a perfect season with PSG, and Lamine Yamal, the Spanish star who was crowned Spanish champion with Barça.
While everyone is making their predictions, the CIES Football Observatory has had fun ranking the 100 best outfield players based on their statistics according to six criteria (aerial play, ground defense, construction, orchestration, percussion, assistance, finishing) and their "use, sporting level and results of the matches played."
Let us remember that France Football's criteria for winning the trophy are not based solely on figures but also on performances, club results, class and fair play.

In the statistics game, Lamine Yamal would be crowned Ballon d'Or according to the CIES. The FC Barcelona striker would be second only to Les Bleus star Kylian Mbappé, who performed very well in a Real Madrid team that wasn't very convincing in 2025. Barça would achieve a nice result with a second player on the podium, Pedri, who finished 3rd.
And what about Ousmane Dembélé? Despite his 35 goals and 16 assists in all competitions, the 28-year-old PSG striker only appears in 7th place, behind Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), Michael Olise (Bayern), and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool). A surprising ranking that will not resemble the one unveiled this Monday evening in Paris.

C'est des foutaises ,Raphinha le merite plus que Yamal
yamal n'a même pas été elu meilleur du barca et vous voulez lui donner le ballon d'or
Ce qui est bizarre dans tout ça, c'est le mot performance ! Puisque Yamal a conduit le Barça juste en une saison
Fake news manifestement
Même lamal ne gagnera, il n'a pas le visage assez pâle !!!
CE BALLON D'OR EST POUR DEMBELE! Ce ballon d'or n'est plus CREDIBLE depuis le fiasco VINICIUS!
Yamal était 8 éme l'an dernier c'est fort probable qu'il va remporter le ballon d'or cette année 2025 devenant ainsi le plus jeune joueur de l'histoire à avoir gagné le ballon d'or.
