He carried PSG on his back, scoring 35 goals as he helped the club sweep domestic trophies and reach the Club World Cup final, and pundits now name him the favourite.
This year’s ceremony at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris follows a shift away from the Messi–Ronaldo era; Rodri’s win last year showed voters will reward different kinds of influence.
Because of this, players who combine high numbers with team success are now given preference for the award, which gives the French and PSG forward a chance to make a strong case.
Dembele spoke freely about the honour of being on the shortlist and called the Ballon d’Or “the individual Holy Grail.”
That line shows how much the prize matters to players who craft whole seasons around consistency and trophies.

For a lot of fans and writers, the choice will depend on form, trophies, and great moments.
