Two Paris Saint-Germain players will not attend the Ballon d’Or ceremony in 2025.
This is because Monday night has been chosen as the new date for the Le Classique match against Marseille.
Forecasts of strong storms in southern France caused the Ligue 1 match to be rescheduled.
This implies that the game and the Ballon d’Or ceremony at the Theatre du Chatelet will conflict.
Ousmane Dembélé of PSG is a strong contender to take home the award.
PSG is the most represented team on the shortlist, with nine additional players receiving award nominations.
Players may have to put the derby ahead of football’s most coveted individual honors, though, since the match now starts at the same time in Marseille.
Despite their injuries, Dembélé and Désiré Doué may still attend the event.
