He seems not to have issues with fellow players, cause you even see players like Mbappe, PSG, and French stars saying they would give him the Ballon d'Or, so it seems people behind him are united, unlike Barca fans having to either go in for Raphinha or Yamal. PSG also has the supercup to play...

I don't think that was Osimhen's demand. Different sources, however, quoted Chelsea's low offer; one said Chelsea offered him less than half his Napoli salary. Chelsea's low offer was because they were trying to take advantage of the issue Napoli's president had with Osimhen. Osimhen would be...

Chelsea offered him 130k weekly, I can't say he is greedy for rejecting that if he feels he's worth more than that, especially seeing that Chelsea wanted him to take a wage cut. If he were all about the money, he would've gone to Al Hilal. interesting to see where he ends up now.

It's possible that he just doesn't want to go to Al-Hilal yet, same way Theo Hernandez and Bruno Fernandes also rejected Al-Hilal. From what i read, Osimhen reject 5 offers and Al-Hilal has moved on to another player, so maybe he still wants to play in Europe

I think he's better than Marcelo defensively and better than Abidal offensively. He already has more goals and assists than Abidal, and he's just 22. He still has time to either become better or decline.

How was Ribery better? Ronaldo scored against every opponent he faced in UCL that season, Lewandowski even had a great season then with 10 UCL goals, i think he had a great game against Madrid in the Semis, and people would argue that he even had better UCL campaign than Ribery but the award...

I thought so; however, after checking the trend, I noticed the winner in the UCL mostly goes to a player in the UCL-winning team (especially when the team plays well). It even went to Ribery in 2013 (who had 1 goal and 5 assists), and Ronaldo had 12 UCL goals in that season. If Raphinha has that...

I think the point is whether Dembele's push for the Ballon d'Or is valid or not, and if you check, it's very valid. His imprint in PSG winning 4 cups this season is obvious. He's got 14 g/a in 15 UCL games, 27g/a in 29 league games, 4 g/a in 4 Coupe de France games and 1 g/a in 1 Trophees des...

That's true, but Dembele also has a UEFA Super Cup final against Spurs, PSG likely wins, and that further increases his odds.

I don't think it's just about dribbling ability, I didn't see PSG players dribbling frequently against Inter; it was more of quick passes, quick movements, crazy pressing, switching of wings, and it seemed Inter didn't know how to contain it. With Barca, it was more predictable. We gave Yamal...

He actually has more pace than Yamal based on UEFA stats (Doue's top speed is 33.83 km/h and average speed is 31.35 per game). Yamal's top speed is 32.18 km/h and average speed is 30.53 per match. I don't think he needs to be lightning quick, but I agree that he can do more damage in central...

He's most likely winning it (already has the UCL player of the tournament and Ligue 1 player of the year already), so Football quality may as well get to its knees already, or even lie fully down.

Something people don't understand is that Barca's style against Inter was cool, but it relied too much on Yamal's dribbling. PSG's approach against Inter was different (involved more movements and fewer touches), and that's why we didn't see their wingers trying to emulate what Yamal did...

I think it's most likely Dembele, Yamal may not even win the most valuable player in La Liga for 2025 (Mbappe won the fans voting, Pedri won La Liga player of the season from the Athletic, and Yamal won it from ESPN), so votes are split for Barca players. In UCL Raphinha has the edge over Yamal...

If Dembele stayed, he would have been on a reduced contract for about 4-5 years and would have been past his peak before renewal, so that he couldn't demand higher wages then. He trusted and did what was best for himself, and it worked out for both parties.

Lamine is special, I think he's the best RW in the world now, and he's just 17, but Ballon D'or is more than that, your stats, and club achievement in the season are also a vital factor (Dembele edges him there). If you combine club league games and UCL, Dembele has 39 g/a in 42 games (2725...

Even if he's available, Barca isn't his likely destination, cause he would still rotate with Raphinha or Yamal here, so I think he stays put at PSG (don't see much reason for him to leave). If we're even to check his minutes so far, he's got 2,748 so far at PSG this season, Dembele has 2,416...

I watched the game, he was quality, and created chances. Aston Villa also did a good job in blocking passes from getting to him to shoot (so whenever Barcola, Kvara or Doue wanted to lay it back for him, they were always there to intercept)

He needs to control himself better, else his anger would make him do something he regrets. I remember him storming out and throwing tantrums when Xavi subbed him in a game, and now acting funny when Flick and Ter Stegen tried to calm him down. Those close to him should tell him the truth, he...

Context matters, now for Dembele, he had not scored for PSG since November, as a matter of fact, he only had 1 goal in both Ligue 1 and UCL as at April, and that was in November. So he is battling critics from not scoring a goal at all, having just 1 goal in 32 appearances in both UCL and Ligue...
