Ousmane Dembele (28 years old) received the Golden Ball in the France Football Gala, while Lamine Yamal (18 years old) had to be satisfied only with the “Kopa” prize for the best U21 player of the year.
At the end of the event in Paris, a lot of supporters gathered around the Chatelet theater to wait for the laureates and especially Ousmane Dembele.
PSG's fans made the monkeys
But among the first was the winner of the French, Lamine Yamal, and the crowd began to bullshit and offend him. And on him, and Barcelona, the club he evolves to. On a video record you can hear how some do like monkeys!

I am very happy that I received the Ronaldinho trophy. Thank you to the PSG club, to everyone in the club! We are an incredible family, led by the president of the club. I have an excellent relationship with him. I thank all the stars from PSG! They gave me a lot of confidence.
It was extremely important for my career. I have extraordinary teammates. It's a team trophy. And Barcelona played a big role in my career. I played with Messi there. It wasn't my goal to win the golden ball but I'm very happy.
I won the Champions League for the first time, I won the championship, now this trophy came and I am very happy. I want to thank the coach, who gave me confidence with every selection at the national of France!
