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.
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
