Karim Benzema wins competition and wins Ballon d'Or

Karim Benzema is the big winner of the Ballon d'Or in 2022 and the Frenchman is one of the main candidates for the Player of the Year award presented by French football.

The Real Madrid forward has captained the Whites in La Liga and the Champions League. In 2021/22, he scored 44 goals in 46 games, still assisted 15 times and remains the top scorer in the two games he won.

Benzema's election was no surprise. Highlight for the position of Cristiano Ronaldo, who tied his worst result ever on the 20th and lost the place of best Portuguese in the ranking of the Golden Ball, which ran for 16 years. In the nomination of the club of the year, Manchester City is even more unexpected, surpassing Real Madrid.

In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, João Cancelo is No. 25, Bernardo Silva No. 22 and Rafael Leon, the best Portuguese of the year, is No. 14. Nuno Mendes goes further, fifth in the Cup.

In a dispute that was very competitive, the French star of Real Madrid was better placed due to his great display of the last classic in which he scored one of the winning goals.

However, we cannot fail to give credit to the great French coach Zinedine Zidane, who was present at the award ceremony.
