The 2025 Ballon d'Or race has been in the news for months, with PSG winning the treble and Ousmane Dembele taking the lead.
But experts still highly appreciate Lamine Yamal's chances, especially after he shone brightly to help Spain defeat France in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals.
Specifically, bookmakers offer odds of Dembele winning the 2025 Ballon d'Or at 1/2 (bet 2 win 1), still leading the race. This ratio has remained the same since the Champions League final until now.
Two days ago, the odds for Yamal to win were 8/5 (bet 5 win 8). This is not too far behind Dembele, showing that experts still have a lot of confidence in Yamal's chances.
Right behind Yamal is Vitinha, but the Portuguese midfielder's odds are up to 12/1 (bet 1 to win 12), meaning his chances are clearly too low compared to Dembele and Yamal. Next are Mbappe (20/1), Salah (25/1), Raphinha (25/1)...
After the UEFA Nations League final, a big change has appeared in the race. Bookmakers have simultaneously reduced the odds of Yamal winning the 2025 Ballon d'Or from 8/5 to 16/5 (bet 5 win 16). In other words, Yamal has reduced his chances of winning by half.
Some football websites have also changed their perspective on the race. Typically Football365. A few days ago they still rated Yamal and Dembele as having equal chances, but now agree that Dembele is the superior candidate.
Not only that, losing the title of La Liga's Best Player (Raphinha won the award) will also cause Yamal to lose some points.
