Paris Saint-Germain enjoyed a triumphant evening at the 69th Ballon d’Or ceremony. Their talented forward, Ousmane Dembélé, captured the men’s prize, and they were crowned the men’s Club of the Year, capping off the French champions’ most successful season in their history.

The ceremony at Paris’s Théâtre du Châtelet on Monday evening saw Dembélé claim his first major individual honor after leading PSG to their maiden UEFA Champions League title alongside their domestic success in Ligue 1 and Coupe de France. The 28-year-old French winger’s emotional acceptance speech drew thunderous applause from a partisan home crowd.

In the women’s category, Aitana Bonmatí made history of her own, becoming the first player to win three consecutive Ballon d’Or Awards. The 26-year-old midfielder drove Barcelona to a domestic treble and the Women’s Champions League final while helping Spain reach the EURO 2025 final.

Youth excellence and new milestones

Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, 18, became the first player to win the men’s Kopa Trophy twice, finishing as runner-up for the main Ballon d’Or. His clubmate, Vicky López, 19, claimed the inaugural women’s Kopa Trophy, making it a Barcelona double in the youth categories.

The goalkeeping honors went to Gianluigi Donnarumma, who earned the men’s Yashin Trophy for his performances with PSG. England’s Hannah Hampton captured the inaugural women’s Yashin Trophy following Chelsea’s WSL title and England’s successful EURO 2025 defense.

Coaching excellence and goal-scoring honors

Luis Enrique won the men’s Johan Cruyff Trophy for masterminding PSG’s historic Champions League conquest. England’s Sarina Wiegman claimed the women’s coaching award after guiding the Lionesses to back-to-back European Championships.

In the goal-scoring categories, Viktor Gyökeres earned the men’s Gerd Müller trophy with an extraordinary 54 goals in 52 games for Sporting CP before his move to Arsenal. Barcelona’s Ewa Pajor claimed the women’s equivalent with 43 goals in 46 appearances last season.

Club recognition and humanitarian honor

PSG and Arsenal were named men’s and women’s clubs of the year, respectively, with PSG celebrating their European breakthrough and Arsenal their Women’s Champions League success.
