Why PSG’s dominant UCL final win could spell bad news for 3 Barcelona stars | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain’s victory in the Champions League final on Saturday night could yet deal a blow to several leading players at Barcelona.

This comes amid the ongoing race for some of the continent’s most prestigious individual prizes.

PSG are of course fresh off a historic evening on Saturday, which saw the French champions secure for themselves a first-ever title in Europe’s premiere club competition.

Playing a starring role in as much was former Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembélé, whose chances of lifting the Ballon d’Or are now considered greatly improved.

The 28-year-old’s main competition for the award come in the form of current Blaugrana pair Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha.

The undisputed star of the show at the Allianz Arena, meanwhile, was Désiré Doué, whose haul of two goals and an assist is also expected to catapult the young attacker into contention for the Golden Boy award.

This is a race which, until last night at least, had also been led by a Barcelona star, namely defender Pau Cubarsí.
