UEFA Champions League to decide Ballon d'Or Winner, as Salah, Raphinha close in on league titles

Ballon d'Or Power Rankings 2025 [Real-time]

With PSG having qualified for the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League, Ousmane Dembélé, who assisted in both legs against Aston Villa is now guaranteed to finish in the top three places of the 2025 Ballon d'Or.

The race is however just heating up.

The Frenchman leads the pack thanks to an early Ligue 1 win, but fastest doesn't necessarily means best.

Mohamed Salah and Raphinha are still favourites, with the greater weight of their almost certain league titles poised to propel them ahead of Dembélé.

This positions the UEFA Champions League as the ultimate decider.
