“Ousmane Dembélé, let’s not forget, we are talking about a guy who won the Ballon d’Or. And, honestly, I don’t think people talk about it enough. What he has done at PSG is unprecedented. I feel like he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. Because, in reality, he is the best player in the world. And people don’t highlight the season in which he had enough. He has come a long way. He has had a lot of injuries, his time at Barça… He wasn’t exactly the player you would expect him to be. one day he would say: ‘Maybe I’ll win the Ballon d’Or…’ It was far from that, but in the end he proved everyone wrong.Benzema said.
