PSG are having their best season yet so far and they are just one game away from winning their first ever UEFA Champions League. It might be shocking to know that Marseille is the only club of Ligue 1 to ever win a UEFA Champions League.
With Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz strong in the midfield and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia keeping the opponent defenders confused, things have gone so well for PSG so far.
Marquinos is leading the side very well yet again and Dembele's injuries have also reduced and a serious gameplay is being seen from him.
Osumane Dembele is leading the goal scorer charts of the Ligue 1 and has scored eight important goals in UEFA Champions League too. Dembele's goal against Liverpool and Arsenal in the first leg of semi-final helped PSG secure their run till the final.
The times have changed when only Ronaldo and Messi used to compete for the Ballon d'or and set a very high bar for other players. The numbers that they put across for the other players were quite serious. But now with those numbers gone, the Ballon d'or has opened up for many players and we can see the favourites changing in a short period of time.
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah was the favourite for the Ballon d'or until they got knocked out of the UEFA Champions League.
Raphinha's 34 goals and 25 assists in the current campaign having won LaLiga, Copa Del Rey and Spanish Cup makes him the best competitor for Osumane Dembele who has also won the Ligue 1 but winning the UEFA Champions League will strengthen his position for the award.
