“Ousmane Dembélé – let’s not forget, we’re talking about a guy who won the Ballon d’Or. Honestly, I don’t think people talk about it enough. What he did at PSG was simply unprecedented. I feel like he doesn’t get the recognition that he deserves because, in fact, he’s the best player in the world. People don’t. There was an emphasis on the season he just had. He has come a long way. He had a lot of injuries, his time at Barcelona… He was not the player that you expected, ‘Maybe he will win the Ballon d’Or…’ He was far from that, but in the end, he proved everyone wrong and that’s what I really like about this player.”” Benzema said.
