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 again 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 against Chelsea this Tuesday after a great victory (3-1) in the first leg.
