Which Frenchmen won the Ballon d’Or? 1:36

(CNN Spanish) — The 66th edition of the Ballon d’Or, a prize awarded by the magazine France Footballwill take place this Monday, October 17, and the world of football is already revving up.

Without a doubt, the Ballon d’Or 2022 will be an unusual award, as it is the first time in 17 years that Lionel Messi (the maximum winner in the history of this award and the 2021 winner) is out of contention for this award.

On the other hand, of the candidates for this year’s award, perhaps the one with the best chance of winning it is Karim Benzema, who was recently chosen as the UEFA best player of the year and that it was crucial for Real Madrid to win their 14th Champions League and LaLiga last season.
