Fans deliver Ballon d'Or verdict on Ousmane Dembele after Super Cup performance

Fans online are all in agreement as they delivered their Ballon d'Or verdict on Ousmane Dembele following his showing for Paris Saint-Germain against Tottenham in the Super Cup.

Dembele is among the contenders to win this year's Ballon d'Or following his stellar performances for PSG last season.

He helped his side win four trophies, including the coveted Champions League.

And the French giants secured their first piece of silverware of the new season after beating Europa League holders Spurs on penalties after coming from two goals down in normal time.

Micky van de Ven opened the scoring six minutes before the break, with Cristian Romero adding his side's second three minutes after the restart.

PSG, who competed in this summer's Club World Cup, weren't at the races as Luis Enrique's team failed to get a grip of the game but they burst into life in the dying stages, with goals from Lee Kang-in and Goncalo Ramos taking the Super Cup to a penalty shootout.

Dembele was largely ineffective until he produced a stunning assist for Ramos.

And fans on social media reckon the Frenchman, who converted his penalty in the shootout, deserves to win the prestigious individual award after his clutch moment.

One X user wrote: "Dembele deserves the Ballon d'Or. Clutch in every major game."

A second said: "Dembele assist..Ballon d'Or in the bag."

A third added: "With this assist Dembele has the Ballon d’or in the bag."

A fourth commented: "Dembele is saving his Ballon d'Or."

Another weighed in: "Just like that dembele shows why he’s gonna win the Ballon d’or."

Dembele scored an impressive 35 goals across all competitions last season and supporters reckon he salvaged his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or following his last-minute assist.

Barcelona duo Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, PSG's Vitinha and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah are among the other candidates for this year's Ballon d'Or.
