Former Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale has shared his thoughts on the 2025 Ballon d'Or.
Gareth Bale has added his voice to the growing debate surrounding the winner of this year's Ballon d'Or, ahead of the Club World Cup final between PSG and Chelsea.
The Wales icon has named Ousmane Dembele as his top pick for the prestigious award. Bale believes the French winger stands out “by some way” in the race, despite strong competition from Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal and Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe.

Gareth Bale picks Ballon d'Or winner
Speaking to ESPN about the 2025 Ballon d’Or, Bale explained why he sees Dembele as the favorite:
)
“Yes, I think so. I think you also have to look at what the teams have won. I think everyone obviously talks about individuals, but I think if you are winning those trophies as well, you’re winning the Champions League, obviously, they’ve won their domestic treble
"If they win again the Club World Cup, it’s hard to see anyone else from the season he’s had and he’s transformed them into trophies as well as the season he’s had. It does make him the front runner by some way in my opinion.”
