Luis Enrique supports PSG players for the upcoming Ballon d'Or award

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has publicly backed his squad members to secure the next Ballon d'Or award. Speaking during a press conference on September 4, Enrique cited the team's Champions League success and the international achievements of Fabian and Ousmane Dembélé as justification for his stance. The debate surrounding the annual individual honor has intensified as the ceremony approaches. While Enrique campaigns for his current roster, he acknowledged alternative perspectives, noting that Toni Kroos previously suggested Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as a candidate despite Georgia not competing in the recent international tournament. PSG prepares to play its first home game of the season at the Parc des Princes later today. Meanwhile, Ibrahim Mbaye has completed a transfer to Aston Villa.
