""If his [Dembélé] name was Leo Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, there would be no argument," Campos told RMC Sport. "If he doesn't win the Ballon d'Or it's because the people who voted don't have the competence to vote for the Ballon d'Or because his stats and everything he's won are very strong. "In my opinion, the one who clearly deserves the Ballon d'Or is Dembélé. For me, there's no discussion.""
""Last season, the player with the best stats and the most prominent in all competitions was Dembélé. [Achraf] Hakimi and Vitinha, who also won the Nations League [with Portugal], also had extraordinary seasons, but the truth is that the best player in the Champions League and Ligue 1 was Ousmane Dembélé.""
Ousmane Dembélé played an integral role as PSG secured a historic treble of Ligue 1, Coupe de France and the Champions League last season. Dembélé scored 35 goals and provided 16 assists and was voted the best player in the Champions League and Ligue 1. Lamine Yamal, aged 18, won a domestic treble with Barcelona and helped Spain finish runners-up in the UEFA Nations League and is considered a Ballon d'Or contender. Achraf Hakimi and Vitinha also had extraordinary seasons and won the Nations League with Portugal. Some argue Dembélé's statistics and honours make him the clear Ballon d'Or choice.
