I think the cards are stacked in Ousmane Dembélé's favor. He deserves it for all his achievements, although I have another player I'd like to see there, and that's Vítor Ferreira. I don't think Lamine has achieved enough to deserve a Ballon d'Or. I think there's just media overvaluation going on here. Maybe he'll do better in the future, since he's young and has promising talent.
Agree with everything you said here. When you look at the season PSG just had, it has to be Dembele or Vitinha.
There’s no way it can be Yamal. He is probably the most talented out of those three, with the highest ceiling but he was not better than them this season.
A list I saw recently dropped Yamal to third position with Raphinha as second and Vintiha as 4th position while another source placed Yamal as second with Vintiha coming fifth .. imo it will either be Dembele or Yamal, Vintiha tried as well but I don't think to the extent of getting it over Dembele
