The long-awaited Ballon d'Or 2025 ceremony took place on September 22, a date that will go down in history, especially for Ousmane Dembélé, who won the Best in the World award, thrilling PSG fans with an incredible comeback in his career. However, there were other titles that also attracted attention.
In women's soccer, we had a surprise with Aitana Bonmati preventing the break in hegemony and winning the title of Best Player, despite Barcelona being defeated by Arsenal in the Champions League final. In terms of best goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma prevented Emiliano Martínez from winning another trophy and won his trophy for his performance at PSG last season. Finally, the last big highlight was Lamine Yamal's victory with the Kopa Trophy.
