Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal finished as runner-up for the coveted prize. Brazilian legend Ronaldinho presented the golden trophy to the French international. The recognition honors Dembele's exceptional performances throughout the campaign. Manchester City midfielder Rodri previously held the title after defeating Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior. Barcelona midfielder Aitana Bonmati secured the women's equivalent award for her outstanding contributions. The Spanish playmaker prevailed over Arsenal pair Mariona Caldentey and Alessia Russo. Bonmati continues Barcelona's dominance in women's football recognition. The ceremony celebrated individual excellence across both men's and women's competitions. France Football organizes the annual event to recognize global football talent. [/QUOTE]
