The Frenchman is simply on fire in this spring of 2022.
Author of an exceptional season, Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema (34 years old, 37 games and 37 goals in all competitions this season) has established himself as a serious candidate for the Ballon d’Or this year. For Sky Italia on Tuesday, former White House striker Ronaldo once more campaigned for a coronation of the French international.
“Benzema? He deserves the Ballon d’Or, I’ve been saying that for years and I’ve been criticized for that… but he deserves it, he’s a great striker,” admired the Brazilian. With a trophy now awarded next October, the Champions League risks playing a big role in the name of the future winner of this individual distinction. It’s up to Benzema to continue his momentum with the C1 quarter-final return scheduled once morest Chelsea this Tuesday following a great victory (3-1) in the first leg.
