Another award for Ousmane Dembélé! Named The Best FIFA Men’s Player of 2025, Ousmane Dembélé follows Vinicius Junior and ends a year of consistently high-level performances on a high. With 35 goals and 16 assists in the 2024-25 season, the Parisian number 10 stood out in the Club’s European run, notably with a goal at Liverpool in the Champions League round of 16, another against Arsenal in the semis, and two assists in the final against Inter Milan to play a central role in the Club’s first triumph in the competition. A few weeks after receiving the Ballon d’Or, this trophy is confirmation of his exceptional season.
Luis Enrique named the world’s top coach! The Spanish coach succeeds Pep Guardiola as The Best FIFA Men’s Coach. Following his arrival at Paris Saint-Germain in 2023, Luis Enrique has built a strong group and developed a momentum that has taken the Club to an historic quintuple in 2025 with the Ligue 1 title, the Coupe de France, the Trophée des Champions, the Champions League and the European Super Cup. He has led his players to write a new page in the history of Paris Saint-Germain, one that they could add to with a sixth title in the calendar year if they lift the Intercontinental Cup on Wednesday.
The Rouge & Bleu squad recognised! Dembélé, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Willian Pacho and Vitinha are all in The Best FIFA Men’s 11 for the year, indicating the dominant role Paris Saint-Germain has played this year. Their presence reflects the consistency of their performances in a year marked by success. Paris Saint-Germain already had nine players in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year and six in the Champions League Team of the Season before this new honour on the international stage.
These awards come in the wake of others received by Parisian players. Kang-In Lee was named Asia’s Player of the Year on 16 October this year, while Hakimi won the African Ballon d’Or on 19 November and Désiré Doué picked up the Golden Boy 2025 that same month.
With its gifted young players and ambitious squad, Paris Saint-Germain now turns its attention to the next challenge: the Intercontinental Cup final against CR Flamengo at the Ahmad-ben-Ali Stadium in Qatar on Wednesday, 17 December 2025.
