What Dembele said after the announcement of the Golden Ball conquest
“It is incredible what I live in. I have no words was an amazing season with Paris Saint -Germain, so many things happened to my career. On the first day.
Thanks to Luis Enrique, it helped me bring my career where I wanted. My teammates, who wouldn’t be here without you. During the difficult times we were there for each other. It is always the team that wins. Of course, thank Dortmund and Ren. One of my dreams was to play in Barcelona. I was fighting next to Iniesta and Messi. I didn’t have a goal in my career, but it is incredible to do it in your career.
The cycle of last year we won everything with Paris with a personal record. I also thank the people of the French national team who show me confidence in both easy and difficult. I would also like to thank my homeland, Evre. All the people of the city were amazing with me and I am happy to grow up in such a city. In closing to thank my family, my mother. He was always there and he supported me in difficult times. Thanks to my agenda. He always believed in me, always motivated me. Be well ”
