Football fans, rejoice! PSG's wizard on the wing, Ousmane Dembélé, was crowned Best Men's Player at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai this week 🏆✨. He beat big names like Kylian Mbappé, Raphinha, Vitinha and Barcelona's teen star Lamine Yamal to take home the top prize.
Dembélé capped off an incredible 2025 season by lifting the Ballon d'Or back in September and helping PSG secure their first-ever UEFA Champions League title. "I'm happy to have won all these individual trophies, but I always say the team comes first. Big thanks to my family and my two best friends, Moustapha Diatta and Dayot Upamecano. I'm living my best life," he said, savoring every moment of the year.
Speaking of Yamal, the Barcelona phenom was a triple threat this week, claiming Best Forward, Best Under-23 Player in La Liga and the Maradona Award. Talk about leveling up! 🚀
At 40 years young, Cristiano Ronaldo proved he's far from slowing down. The Portugal and Al Nassr superstar earned the Best Middle East Player award and vowed, "I want more trophies and to hit the numbers we all know. I will reach that number for sure."
In one of the night's most touching scenes, the late Liverpool forward Diogo Jota received a special tribute. His proud parents flew to Dubai to accept the honor in his memory.
The ceremony wrapped up with a brand-new Globe Sports Award, which Ronaldo handed to tennis legend Novak Djokovic. A fitting end to an epic night celebrating the champions of 2025! 🎾⚽
