In this file photo taken on May 4, 2022 Real Madrid's French forward Karim Benzema celebrates at the end of the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg football match between Real Madrid CF and Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid.
His exploits included a hat-trick in 17 second-half minutes against Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16, and another away to Chelsea in the quarter-final first leg. He also scored three more goals over both legs of the semi-final against Manchester City. “What is most important to me is to win collective trophies. If you do things well on the field, individual awards will follow,“ Benzema pointed out recently.“If they don’t cancel it then he’s probably going to win this Ballon d’Or,“ said Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski this week.
If Benzema wins, he will be the fifth Frenchman to do so, following in the footsteps of Raymond Kopa in 1958, Michel Platini , Jean-Pierre Papin and Zidane .But the format has changed, with the prize now based on a player’s record over the last season.There is far less certainty about the identity of what will be the fourth women’s Ballon d’Or.
