Paris Saint-Germain defender, Ilya Zabarnyi, has backed teammate Ousmane Dembele to win the Ballon d’Or this year.
The Ukrainian believes Dembele is one of the PSG players who deserve to win the Ballon d’Or.
The 24-year-old spoke at his post-match interview following PSG’s 3-1 against Strasbourg in the French Ligue 1 encounter on Saturday.
“We have many players in our team who deserve this award, and Dembele is one of them,” Zabarnyi said via Foot Mercato
