Dembele played poorly for most of the European Super Cup but shone at the right moment, causing social media to spread rumors that he was "sure to win the Ballon d'Or".

At the Stadio Friuli in the early hours of August 14, Tottenham seemed to have one hand on the title when they led 2-0 thanks to goals from Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero. PSG, who had a busy summer with the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, started the game disjointed and lacking cohesion. But in the final minutes, Luis Enrique's army suddenly exploded: Lee Kang-in reduced the score, before Goncalo Ramos equalized from Dembele's delicate assist.

The match went into a penalty shootout, where Dembele coolly converted his spot-kick, helping PSG win their first title of the new season.

Last season, the French star scored 35 goals in all competitions, contributing greatly to PSG's historic quadruple, including the Champions League. With his timely brilliance in the European Super Cup, many fans believe he has just firmly cemented his position as the number one candidate for the 2025 Ballon d'Or.

Comments on X (Twitter) were everywhere: “Dembele deserves the Golden Ball. Always knows how to shine in big matches”, “That assist… The Golden Ball is in hand”, or “In just one moment, Dembele proved why he will be the owner of the Golden Ball”.

In addition to Dembele, this year's race also includes Raphinha, Lamine Yamal (Barcelona), Vitinha (PSG) and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), but after the Super Cup, few doubt that he has just made an important step forward on the journey to conquer the most prestigious individual title.
