The Best FIFA Football Awards 2025 concluded in expected fashion with France\u2019s Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 grabbing the award for the best men\u2019s player while Spain\u2019s Aitana Bonmat\u00ed was crowned the best women\u2019s player. The results mirrored the 2025 Ballon d\u2019Or results despite the three month gap between the awards.<\/p>\n
The PSG-dominated awards may have been a bit of a snooze-fest for most Bayern Munich fans. However, what fans of \u2018Die Rekordmeister\u2019 may find more interesting is the voting sheets of Bayern Munich\u2019s three national team captains, as well as former Bayern managers, Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel.<\/p>\n
The ballots revealed a fascinating divergence of opinion, though some notable overlaps emerged. Germany captain Joshua Kimmich and Julian Nagelsmann were in total lockstep, both placing PSG\u2019s Vitinha at number one. Meanwhile, current England manager Thomas Tuchel found common ground with Alphonso Davies; both felt Harry Kane was the rightful heir to the Best Men\u2019s trophy.<\/p>\n
There was even greater consensus regarding the best goalkeeper and coach. Tuchel, Davies, and Kane all backed Gianluigi Donnarumma for the honor of best goalkeeper, while Luis Enrique earned the votes of Tuchel, Kimmich, and Kane as the year\u2019s top manager.<\/p>\n
The voting sheets of players and managers are always interesting. They reveal differing opinions, perhaps a bit of bias and a lot of mind-boggling inclusions that are often more entertaining than the awards themselves.<\/p>\n
