Barcelona duo Lamine Yamal and Raphinha have been talked about as being front-runners for the award, but Enrique says Ousmane Dembele is the worthy choice for the award.

"As a team, we have demonstrated an incredible way of defending,’ said Enrique in his post match press conference.

"Everyone is talking about the Ballon d’Or. I would give it to Ousmane Dembele for his way of defending.

"He is a model, his pressing. In the final, he was exceptional. He deserves it for his goals but especially for his way of defending.

"We have put in some very high-level performances. Now we are going to celebrate that."

Enrique has now joined the club of winning two Champions League titles with two different clubs.

"Since day one, I said I wanted to win important trophies, and Paris had never won the Champions League," he added. 

"We did it for the first time. It’s a great feeling to make many people happy."
