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.
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović speaks on the FIFA World Cup and states which African team countries should watch out for.
During a recent interview, the former player shared that Ivory Coast should be one of the teams to look out for.
“They can be dangerous. It is a very good team. They lost against Germany, but that game could have been a draw or even a win.
“So, it’s not like they came out of the group with one loss because of a bad game against Germany. They played a good game against Germany and could easily have gotten a point against them.”
