Best player in the world: Greenwood snubs Dembélé and makes his choice

The young English forward Mason Greenwood, currently playing for Olympique de Marseille, does not see Ousmane Dembélé as the best player in the world.

With OM, Mason Greenwood has made an impressive start to the season, recording 3 goals and 4 assists in 9 matches. This Wednesday, the Englishman opened up in an interview for Olympique de Marseille's media, where he also discussed his football idols.

Greenwood was also asked who he thinks is the best player in the world right now. For the former teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United, Ousmane Dembélé—despite having won the 2025 Ballon d'Or—is far from that title. According to Greenwood, it's Lamine Yamal who is the best player in the world.
