Schweinsteiger Ranks Lamine Yamal Higher Than Dembele in 2025 Ballon d’Or
Former Germany star Bastian Schweinsteiger has placed Lamine Yamal ahead of Ousmane Dembele in the race for the 2025 Ballon d’Or. Although Schweinsteiger didn’t reveal his overall favorite for the award, he made it clear that Spain’s young winger deserves to be ranked above Dembele.
His comments came after Yamal helped Spain secure a victory over France in the Nations League semi-final on Thursday. “Ballon d’Or? Lamine Yamal should be ranked higher than Dembele,” Schweinsteiger told SWR, as reported by Metro UK. “Yamal was the better player on the pitch tonight,” he added.
Both Yamal and Dembele are strong contenders this year thanks to their impressive achievements. Yamal lifted the LaLiga and Copa del Rey trophies with Barcelona under Hansi Flick, while Dembele enjoyed a winning season with Paris Saint-Germain, securing the UEFA Champions League, Ligue 1 title, and Coupe de France.
Captain of the Morocco national team, Achraf Hakimi, has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic surrounding AFCON 2025.
It can be noted that the team was accused of taking towels belonging to opposition goalkeepers during matches, which sparked criticism from fans and observers, with many calling for consequences.
Hakimi expressed his disappointment over the situation, stating “I don’t feel proud about the image we gave off with the towels. Even though that happened, the team did well in the competition. We showed respect for our opponents in the tournament.”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
