Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele capped a stunning year with another top prize as he was named the men's player of the year at the 16th Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai.

Dembele won the Ballon d'Or in September for a superb season with PSG, which included the Ligue 1 side's first Uefa Champions League title.

He helped the French club win six trophies in 2025, including the league title, European crown and the Fifa Intercontinental Cup.

Dembele, who also won the Fifa Best award in Qatar, scored 35 goals in all competitions as PSG dominated the season.

PSG were rewarded for their efforts, with coach Luis Enrique named the best coach and club boss Nasser Al Khelaifi the best president of the year.

The Paris club were also named the best team of the campaign.

"Without trophies, it does not mean anything," PSG president Al Khelaifi said. "Thanks to the team and staff who worked very had. It was not very easy. Last year was very tough, we almost did not even qualify for play-offs.

"This season changed it for us. It was an amazing journey."
