The Breaking Point: Dembélé’s Controversial Win

 

The uproar reached its peak this year when Osasuna Dembélé was crowned the 2025 Men’s Ballon d’Or winner — a decision that stunned fans, journalists, and even some players.

 

While Dembélé had an impressive season, many argue that his achievements did not warrant lifting the golden ball ahead of other front-runners. The result sparked widespread accusations of favoritism, media influence, and backroom politics.

 

Drogba’s sudden decision to speak out, timed immediately after the award announcement, has added even more fuel to the fire. His words suggest that the outcome may not have been as pure and objective as the organizers have always claimed.
