Thierry Henry Snubs Liverpool and PSG Talents in Bold Ballon d’Or Claim for Barcelona Star

Dembele scored and converted his penalty kick to help PSG reach the quarterfinals. While the Frenchman is on a streak that rivals Cristiano Ronaldo’s, Thierry Henry doesn’t see the PSG attacker as the favorite for the Ballon d’Or.

“Raphinha is ahead for me now [in the race for the Ballon d’Or], he is ahead because of what he is doing in the Champions League. He has 11 goals in the Champions League,” Henry said (h/t TEAMtalk).

“Mo Salah is a great contender for it, [Harry] Kane is a contender and [Ousmane] Dembele. It depends if you perform in the Champions League, on top of winning your league. Raphinha is on a lot of goals and with only one penalty.”
