Ex-Barcelona star claims Ousmane Dembele is only missing one thing to become a Ballon d'Or contender after 'incredible' PSG winger hits late winner vs Monaco in Trophee des Champions final

The France international scored a late winner to guide Paris Saint-Germain to their first trophy of the 2024-25 campaign as they beat AS Monaco 1-0 in the final of the Trophee des Champions. Since Kylian Mbappe's departure in the summer, Dembele has been the key player up front for the Ligue 1 champions. In the current season, he has scored nine goals across all competitions and has provided six assists.

After Dembele's incredible performance against Monaco, former France international and ex-Barca star Ludovic Giuly praised the winger while pointing out one aspect the 27-year-old is missing that could transform him into a Ballon d'Or contender.

Speaking to Telefoot, Giuly said: "We are happy to have him in Ligue 1, he is an incredible dribbler who has both feet and speed. If he had that finishing, he would be one of the great players in Ligue 1 and above all could claim the Ballon d'Or."

Luis Enrique's side will be back in action next Sunday in the Ligue 1 as they take on St-Etienne at Parc des Princes.
