According to FIFA, Ousmane Dembele has been recognized as the best football player of the year and was awarded the prestigious "The Best" trophy. The winner was determined based on votes cast by national team captains, head coaches, and representatives of international media. The voting results offered fans an intriguing and, as expected, engaging view of this process.
In the Argentina and Portugal national teams, this responsibility was performed by Lionel Messi and Bernardo Silva, respectively. The football legend Messi selected Dembele as his top choice. He placed Kylian Mbappe in second position and rising star Lamine Yamal in third. This decision is seen as a high appraisal of Dembele's consistent and decisive performances throughout the year.
Portugal captain Bernardo Silva, however, took a slightly different approach. He awarded his first-place vote to his compatriot Vitinha. The subsequent positions were filled by Nuno Mendes and Ousmane Dembele. This choice reflects the excellent performances by Portuguese players at both club and national team levels this season.
The votes of the head coaches of both nations also drew attention. Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni listed Kylian Mbappe as his first choice in the top three. Pedri and Lamine Yamal followed. Meanwhile, Portugal coach Roberto Martinez gave top honors to Nuno Mendes, followed by Vitinha and Lamine Yamal in second and third places, respectively.
Overall, the voting results highlight the rising stars of global football alongside experienced professionals receiving high recognition. Ousmane Dembele's victory in securing "The Best" trophy marks a new and bright chapter in his career, sparking even greater hopes among fans for his future accomplishments.
