Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembele claimed his first Ballon d'Or after a remarkable season that saw him net 35 goals across 53 appearances. The 28-year-old French striker helped PSG secure their maiden Champions League trophy as part of a historic treble. Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal finished second in the voting for the prestigious award. Manager Luis Enrique earned recognition as coach of the year after transforming Dembele from a wide player to a central striker in December. The tactical adjustment proved decisive as Dembele scored 30 goals following the positional change.
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres received the top scorer trophy after netting 54 goals in 52 games for former club Sporting. Yamal captured his second consecutive Kopa Trophy for best young player despite missing out on the main prize. Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma won the Yashin Trophy for his performances with PSG before transferring to Manchester City.
