Dembele Named UCL Player of the Season

Ousmane Dembele was named UEFA Champions League Player of the Season after leading Paris Saint-Germain to their first-ever title with a 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in Munich. Dembele scored eight goals in the campaign and provided two assists in the final, earning praise for his leadership and tactical intelligence following a turnaround from early disciplinary issues. PSG's Desire Doué was awarded Young Player of the Season, making history as the first teenager to score twice in a Champions League final. Seven PSG players, including Dembele and Doué, were selected for the Team of the Season alongside key players from Inter, Arsenal, and Barcelona. PSG's dominant performance and historic win were highlighted by coach Luis Enrique, who endorsed Dembele for the Ballon d'Or. The focus of post-tournament recognition centered on individual and team achievements rather than goal-scoring records.
