Paris Saint-Germain<\/strong><\/a> once again dominated the spotlight at the UNFP Awards gala after two of France\u2019s brightest football talents, Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 and D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9, walked away with major individual honors following a remarkable 2025\/26 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 was crowned Ligue 1 Player of the Season for the second consecutive year, teenage sensation Dou\u00e9 secured the Ligue 1 Best Young Player award for a second straight season, further cementing PSG\u2019s dominance in French football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
