At 34, Karim Benzema has never looked so strong. One week before the Champions League final, his last official game of the season, he has scored 44 goals and 15 assists in… 45 games! Crazy statistics, to which we can add the La Liga title, and potentially a new Champions League with the Merengue. What to present himself as the huge favorite for the Ballon d’Or which has just changed formula. An opinion shared by Didier Deschamps, his coach for the France team.
“He deserves the Ballon d’Or”
In an interview given to bein Sports, he declares his love for his striker: “Karim Benzema is excellence! (…) What makes the difference? It’s not me who will award him (the Ballon d’Or ), he was very close, like other French players, because of what they did, the titles they obtained. Me, I am all for it being a French player, obviously. Karim, Kylian (Mbappé) will obviously be in the fight. Apart from the “weird” years, it is the attackers who win the individual awards. Because of what he does throughout the year with his club and with the Blues, he deserves the Ballon d’Or.” A message that the person concerned will appreciate.
