The 2025 Golden Ball awards gala at the Chatelet Theatre (France) became the center of attention not only because of Ousmane Dembele's victory, but also because of the chaotic image outside the stage.

Dembele's victory on French soil created a frenzied atmosphere both inside and outside the Chatelet theater. In contrast to the joy for Dembele, French fans reacted strongly towards the position of Lamine Yamal, Dembele's opponent in the 2025 Ballon d'Or race.

Yamal and the Barcelona delegation were booed as they left the stadium. Some fans even tried to push and shove the barricades, but were stopped by French police.

The climax of the chaos came when Dembele left the theater with the Ballon d'Or trophy in hand. He and the famous guests were escorted out by security forces.

Dembele himself headed towards the area where the Paris fans were gathered. These fans waited for hours outside the Chatelet theatre to witness the 28-year-old striker's historic moment.

Many French fans lit flares to celebrate, after Dembele raised the Golden Ball with a happy smile. This action created a lively atmosphere in front of the Chatelet theater, forcing the police and event security forces to concentrate to maintain order.

Although no serious incident occurred, the jostling scene created a tense and chaotic moment right in front of the theater.
