Paris Saint-Germain has left its mark on the year 2025. Coach Luis Enrique (55 years old), striker Ousmane Dembélé (28 years old) and midfielder Vitinha (25 years old) have been rewarded by the IFFHS, consecrating a season in which the Parisian club imposed its authority on world football.

These individual awards do not come out of nowhere; they tell the story of a profound transformation. By naming Luis Enrique the world’s best club coach, the IFFHS validates a project that was often considered austere at first, but has proven ruthlessly effective: control of tempo, organized pressing, and the collective placed above individual brilliance. PSG did not just win — it imposed an idea.
The World Player of the Year award given to Ousmane Dembélé symbolizes a long-awaited metamorphosis. Long associated with inconsistency, the French international has become reliable, decisive, and dominant in the biggest matches. Finally, Vitinha, crowned Best Playmaker, embodies the brain of this team: game orchestration, technical precision, and tactical intelligence. He is at last rewarded and recognized at his true value.
Three awards, three profiles, one conclusion: in 2025, PSG did not shine by accident. It ruled through structure, talent, and coherence.
