Having already been nominated in this category last season, the 19-year-old has confirmed his meteoric rise in the Rouge et Bleu shirt by winning the title of Ligue 1's Best Young Player for 2024-2025. With six goals and six assists in 30 league games, Désiré Doué shone thanks to his extraordinary technical ability. His rise to prominence at club level has also opened the doors to the French senior team, with his first cap coming against Croatia on 23 March 2025.
Explosive, clinical, brilliant: Ousmane Dembélé wins Ligue 1's Best Player award
After arriving at Paris Saint-Germain in July 2023, Ousmane Dembélé enjoyed a successful first season, finishing among the top five players in Ligue 1 and making the league's Team of the Season. In the 2024-2025 season, he scored 21 goals and provided six assists in 28 league appearances. For the first time, the 27-year-old striker was named player of the season. The French international, who was crowned world champion in 2018, is also Ligue 1's top scorer and most decisive player ahead of Matchday 34.
Tactician, leader, unifier: Luis Enrique voted Ligue 1 Coach of the Year
At the helm of a team that sparkled throughout the season, Luis Enrique left his mark on the 2024-2025 campaign, not least by guiding his charges to a new record: the longest unbeaten away run in the history of Europe's five major leagues, with 39 matches unbeaten. This total surpasses AC Milan's 38 matches between 1991 and 1993. On a personal note, after winning the Trophée des Champions in Doha last January (1-0 against Monaco), the Spanish coach won his second French league title in two seasons, having conceded just four defeats to French clubs, for a total of 81 official matches played since his arrival at the club in July 2023.
Defenders, midfielders, strikers: Nine Rouge et Bleu names win the League's Team of the Season
The capital club was the best represented, with nine Parisian players voted into the Ligue 1 all-star XI for the 2024-2025 season: Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes and Willian Pacho in defence; Désiré Doué, João Neves and Vitinha in midfield; and Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé in attack. This is a new record for the capital club, surpassing the eight players in the 2016 team of the season, and makes Paris Saint-Germain the first club in the history of the UNFP Trophies to have as many representatives in the team of the season.
