Lazio winger Pedro has made it clear who he’s backing for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, and it’s not Lamine Yamal or Ousmane Dembele. The former Chelsea forward believes Barcelona’s Pedri deserves the top honour, saying he would give him full marks to win the prestigious award ahead of other contenders.

Pedri has been outstanding for Barcelona this season, cementing his place as one of the leading names in the race for the Ballon d’Or. The Spanish midfielder will be up against big names like Dembele, Yamal, Raphinha, Mohamed Salah, and others.

When asked about his choice, Pedro told El Día de Tenerife he has no doubts. “For me, Pedri deserves the maximum score,” Pedro said. “Lamine Yamal is also there, and of course players like Dembele or Raphinha, but I’d love to see Pedri win it. “He’s the best in the world in his position.”

Just days after returning to Turkey, Victor Osimhen has been caught up in an unexpected controversy. The Bulut Mosque in Konya was briefly shown on Google Maps as “Victor Osimhen Mosque,” a change that angered many worshippers.

One local, Zeki Yaylacı, called it disrespectful, saying it was wrong to name a mosque after a non-Muslim and that it insulted both the Muslim community and their places of worship. There is no indication that Osimhen had any involvement in the incident, which appears to have been caused by inaccurate user edits on Google Maps.

Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has shared her thoughts on being nominated for the 2025 Ballon d’Or Yacine Trophy, which honours the best women’s goalkeeper in the world. The 24-year-old has made history as the first African to earn a spot on the shortlist.

Nnadozie has had a remarkable year for both club and country. She helped her former side Paris FC lift the Coupe de France Féminine in May, making a decisive save in a tense 5-4 penalty shootout win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Since joining Brighton & Hove, she has also been instrumental in Nigeria’s victory at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, where she was named Goalkeeper of the Tournament after keeping four clean sheets in six matches.

Speaking in a video shared on the Super Falcons’ X page, Nnadozie said the recognition means a lot to her and her family, adding that it proves her hard work, consistency, and prayers have truly paid off.
