PARIS: Ousmane Dembele won the Ballon d’Or for leading Paris Saint-Germain to its first Champions League title and Aitana Bonmati received the women’s award for a third successive year on Monday. Dembele succeeded Manchester City midfielder Rodri to become the sixth Frenchman to win it after Raymond Kopa, Michel Platini, Jean-Pierre Papin, Zinedine Zidane and Karim Benzema. Bonmati won ahead of her Spain teammate Mariona Caldentey. She’s only the third player in the award’s history to win three in a row after Platini (1983–85) and Lionel Messi (2009-12).

The French forward is favourite to beat the young Spanish, while Spain is likely to dominate the women's category again.
