Ruud Gullit Names PSG Star Who Could Rival Lamine Yamal for Ballon d’Or for Foreseeable Future | OneFootball

FC Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal appears to be the player who will challenge for the Ballon d’Or over the next 15 years. However, who will contest him for the prestigious award? Well, one pundit believes that player is on Paris Saint-Germain.

Desire Doue has been turning heads in recent months, and his performances against Liverpool and Aston Villa have caught the attention of fans who do not normally follow Paris Saint-Germain.

The young Frenchman clinched the win over Liverpool by burying the decisive penalty in the shootout, sending the English club crashing out of the UEFA Champions League.

He kept the momentum going in the next round, scoring a brilliant equalizer against Aston Villa in the first leg. PSG went on to win that match 3-1, with the teenager once again showing calm under pressure and giving a glimpse of his bright future.

While speaking to NEKO Deportes (h/t Le10Sport), former Dutch player, Ruud Gullit, shared why he sees Doue battling Yamal for the Ballo d’Or over the next decade.

“Aside from Lamine Yamal, who will win the Ballon d’Or in the next 10 years? Oh… that’s a tough question. I really like Doué from PSG. He’s young too, it could be him,” Gullit said.
