Ousmane Dembélé brings maroon and sunglasses to the Ballon d'Or

Fanatics' red carpet clip draws an unusually fast audience as its ceremony coverage follows Harry Kane from arrival to victory.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 71,781 views a day, 27 times a normal first day on this channel (2,677).

The 2025 Ballon d’Or winner has arrived for the 2026 ceremony 🔥

Ousmane Dembélé adjusts his jacket, slips a hand into his pocket and pauses for the photographers before moving on. There is no speech in Fanatics' brief red carpet clip, just a dark maroon suit, sunglasses and a moment in front of the cameras.

The clips channel presents him as the 2025 Ballon d'Or winner arriving for the 2026 ceremony. That small piece of the evening drew about 33,000 views in eight hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for a Short.

Dembélé's arrival is part of a wider run of ceremony clips on Fanatics, rather than a standalone interview or an awards recap. A separate Harry Kane arrival Short also made an unusually fast start. The channel's later uploads complete that evening's story: one announces Kane's Ballon d'Or win, and another features his words after receiving the award.
