The French winger helped his team, Paris Saint-Germain, win the Champions League.

A year ago, Dembélé seemed like an example of lost talent and 'enfant terrible' of French football, having struggled at Barcelona. There was a feeling that he would find himself in another unstable period at PSG.

However, on Monday evening, after receiving the Ballon d'Or, it was hard to argue that he has become the best player in the world.

Dembélé was a key figure in the team that impressed all of Europe, having taken down all four Premier League competitors on the way to triumph.

Transformation and New Achievements

Ironically, due to the rescheduling of the PSG match against Marseille, his teammates were unable to share this moment of triumph with him.

Dembélé's increased work rate under Luis Enrique has become an important part of his game and helped him reach new heights.

There are plenty of examples of his ability to perform at a high level, including a successful goal at Anfield.

Although Dembélé did not score in PSG's crushing 5-0 victory over Inter in Munich, he has already proven his worth, boasting 35 goals and 16 assists in 53 matches — results no one could have expected.

Dembélé admitted:

“I have changed a lot, especially in terms of my position and playing style. Now I play in a position that allows me to be closer to the goal, so I just have to capitalize on my chances...”

PSG's successes could not have been as impressive without his tireless work on the pitch, highlighting his status as a role model for other players.

With a shiny trophy in hand, Dembélé has transformed from a 'bad boy' into an example that young footballers can look up to.
