The president of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, decided to attend the Ballon d’Or ceremony this Monday evening, instead of the Classic between Olympique de Marseille and his team. This choice, which has been waiting until the last minute, allows Al-Khelaïfi to support the club and its players, many of whom are nominated for the prestigious prize. Among them are Ousmane Dembélé, Luis Enrique, and Ashraf Hakimi, who could win the award and celebrate their success with the support of their supporters. This decision underlines the importance that the club attaches to the individual recognition of its players on the international football scene.

The match between Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain, originally scheduled for Sunday night, was postponed until Monday due to the heavy weather that affected the Marseille region. Despite initial concerns about the condition of the Vélodrome stadium, it appears to be in perfect play, as confirmed by images shared by sports journalists. This situation allowed Nasser Al-Khelaïfi to devote himself to the Golden Balloon ceremony, while allowing his players to focus on their performances on the ground.

The approach to the Ballon d’Or 2025 ceremony revealed the presence of several players from Paris Saint-Germain in the ranking of the best footballers. Among them, Fabián Ruiz, a midfielder in Spain, ranks 24th, a recognition of his performances both in the club and in Europe. The Parisian supporters, aware of this importance, planned a mobilization in front of the Théâtre du Châtelet to celebrate the possible coronation of Ousmane Dembélé, hoping that he could share his victory with his fans after the ceremony. This day therefore has a special significance for the entire Parisian community.
