Congratulations to Paris Saint-Germain and French national team star Ousmane Dembele for being named the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner!

Dembele had a sensational 2024-25, finishing tied for the most goals in the French Ligue 1 (21) en route to the club’s 13th league title. He also was a key cog in the French giants finally lifting the UEFA Champions League Trophy, finishing the season with 33 goals and 15 assists in 49 total appearances.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Dembele is the first Frenchman to win the Ballon d’Or trophy recognizing the best men’s soccer player in the world since 2022. With that being said, how many of the winners since 1995 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
