French star Othman Dembele is seeking to complete the mission of Paris Saint -Germain successfully on Chelsea in the FIFA World Cup Final to ascend again on the coronation platform in a stunning season, to confirm that he is the most worthy of the Golden Ball award presented to the best player in the world.
The French champions Paris Saint -Germain will play tomorrow, Sunday, against Chelsea, the Premier League, to crown the opening version of the tournament, which will be held with the participation of 32 teams in the United States.
Dembele is looking forward to leading his club for an unprecedented achievement and crowning the title of the expanded World Cup after the French striker won the Champions League at the expense of Inter Milan at the end of May.
Dembele contributed goals in seven games of nine, Saint -Germain played in the roles of the knockout on his way to win the European title for the first time, to be the most prominent candidate to win the Golden Ball award.
But he is the most prominent and not the only one, as he finds fierce competition from the Barcelona duo: Lamine Jamal and Ravinia after the promising wing of Spain and the playmaker of Brazil played a major role in crowning the Catalan team with the local duo and reaching the semi -finals in the Champions League.
Dembele’s throne seemed to be shaken after he returned with hidden nostalgia in losing France against Spain in the semi -finals of the European Nations League last June, a match in which Jamal excelled and scored two goals to lead his country to the final of the tournament.
A decisive role for Dembele against Real Madrid
His start for the Club World Cup was not good, as he missed the group stage matches due to the injury, before participating from the bench in the 4-0 victory over Inter Miami, led by Lionel Messi in the round of sixteen.
Dembele did not participate from the start against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, but he scored the goal of ensuring 2-0 victory over the German team, which was fighting near the end in search of a draw before the former Borussia Dortmund striker spent his hopes.
However, he starred in Real Madrid and scored a goal and presented a decisive pass after only nine minutes from the beginning to ensure the victory of coach Luis Enrique early in a match that ended 4-0.
After what he presented to two European giants, his palm became the most desirable in the best race, but he seeks to resolve matters by repeating his distinguished level in the final matches this season.
Although he did not score against Inter, he presented two decisive passes in the 5-0 victory in the final held at Allianz Arena in Munich.
Dembele previously confronted Chelsea only once, with Barcelona in the 2017-2018 season and scored a goal in 67 minutes he played in the second round of the round of sixteen at the time.
Dembele hopes to decide the title to approach more than the Golden Ball, which is also granted on the basis of the player between August 2024 and July 31, according to the new regulations of the award in an effort to become the first French to achieve after Karim Benzema in 2022.
