What you need to know:

  • Paris St Germain coach Luis Enrique previously told reporters that he believed Dembele is deserving of the Ballon d'Or
  • On Wednesday said there was no doubt that the Frenchman had once again shown himself worthy of the award.



Paris St Germain manager Luis Enrique will hope to count on striker Ousmane Dembele for Sunday's Club World Cup finale against Chelsea, after a stunning 4-0 thrashing over Real Madrid in the tournament's penultimate stage.

The Ballon d'Or frontrunner rested the entire group stage after sustaining a thigh injury and was limited to substitute appearances in earlier knockout rounds, getting his first start of the tournament on Wednesday against the La Liga titans.
