Dembélé repeats as best French footballer of the year

Published on May 15, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Ousmane Dembélé has been distinguished for the second consecutive time as the most outstanding French footballer of the season. The PSG forward, with his speed and flair, has been a decisive factor in the Parisian attack, surpassing other national talents in the voting of the prestigious France Football magazine.

Ousmane Dembélé, wearing the PSG jersey, celebrates lifting the trophy for the best French footballer of the year.

The technical evolution of an intermittent talent ⚽

Beyond the goals, Dembélé's improvement in decision-making has been remarkable. His ability to create space and assist has reached optimal levels, with an average of 0.8 key passes per game and a dribbling accuracy of 62%. The reduction in injuries and a greater defensive commitment have polished a player who previously relied solely on his explosiveness.

The award that arrives just before getting injured 😅

The news comes at a delicate moment, just as Dembélé prepares for a new cycle of mysterious injuries. Because being the best in France is fine, but the record of consecutive minutes without a strain remains the pending subject. At least the trophy will last longer than his last period on the sidelines.
