PSG made a major impact even within the world’s best XI. At the FIFA The Best ceremony, the Parisian club placed six players in the 2025 Team of the Year, a shining symbol of its dominance during the 2024–2025 season and its historic UEFA Champions League triumph.
Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, and Ousmane Dembélé all feature in this prestigious lineup, making PSG the most represented club. A very attack-minded XI completed by Virgil van Dijk, Pedri, Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, and Lamine Yamal, confirming Parisian hegemony over European football, even as the absences of Raphinha and Kylian Mbappé sparked debate.
PSG’s Collective Supremacy Honored
Riding the wave of this collective recognition, individual awards naturally followed. On the touchline, Luis Enrique was named Coach of the Year 2025. Already crowned at the Ballon d’Or with the Cruyff Trophy, the Spanish manager was rewarded for his remarkable work and the transformation of PSG, driven to the top of Europe by a strong and clearly defined playing identity.
On the pitch, Ousmane Dembélé capped off an outstanding year. Already the winner of the 2025 Ballon d’Or, the Parisian forward was voted Best Player of the Year at The Best ceremony. Decisive, consistent, and an attacking leader, the French international established himself as the new boss of world football.
“Hard work pays off, the year has been fantastic for me, both individually and collectively,” he said, paying tribute to his teammates and the entire club. With this Ballon d’Or–The Best double, Dembélé perfectly embodies a season in which PSG swept everything, both as a team and on an individual level.
