Fourth in the last Ballon d’Or despite an exceptional season with Real Madrid and a thunderous return to the France team marked by this final title in the League of Nations, Karim Benzema still does not seem to digest his position. Asked this Sunday about these votes in an interview with Telefoot, the Madrid striker, author of 24 goals and 9 assists in 27 matches in all competitions since the start of the season, considers this fourth place as anecdotal but above all seems perplexed as to the criteria for establishing a final classification.
“As I’ve been saying since I was little, 4th, 3rd or 2nd or even 30th it’s the same, what matters is to be first after sincerely I saw that I lacked trophies but on the field I can’t Do more. For me the Ballon d’Or is not just trophies or just scoring goals and besides the problem is that it changes all the time. For me the Ballon d’Or is everything, it’s scoring goals, helping the team, being present when it’s hard for the team but after that it’s not me who awards the Ballon d’Or. Gold (laughs). In any case, yes, I will continue to give the best of myself and of course the Ballon d’Or remains a goal., said the Merengue.
