Football agent Vincenzo Raiola emphasized that Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is more deserving of this year’s Ballon d’Or than Ousmane Dembele. Raiola argued that PSG’s victory in the UEFA Champions League last season would not have been possible without Donnarumma’s crucial saves. In a recent media statement, Raiola highlighted Donnarumma’s pivotal performances against Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa during their Champions League journey. “In my opinion, Donnarumma is worthy of winning the Ballon d’Or,” he stated. Ousmane Dembele has made significant contributions with his scoring, but it was Donnarumma’s saves in matches against Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal that were crucial for Paris to achieve victory in the Champions League. Dembele is considered one of the leading candidates for the Ballon d’Or this year. The French player is anticipated to compete against Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Kylian Mbappe for the prestigious accolade.
