robosky02:
The Big Benz

Undisputed #1 on the list

He is in the position right now.. but i see Liverpool vs Man City finals

hatakekakashi:
If not for the world cup, then yes he deserves. Messi no do pass this last year.

Messi had more goals last year and won the Copa America with the most goals and assists. make una dey calm down abeg.

It's also funny that the same people that were shouting Lewandoski last year are silent all of a sudden despite the fact that Lewandoski still has more goals than Benzema this season.

Yes.

well deserve

If City win Champions League and Epl, Debruyne may win it

Well deserved

[quote author=paulolee post=112318364]the balloon rules av been changed and now, a season decides the balloon d or winner, not a calendar year like before.
ballon d or would be awarded before the world cup n d world cup is starting this November, meaning the performances would be counted with other competitions of next season to get next year ballon d or winner...
Benz is the hot favorite to win it but trophies may decide[/quote. Individual performance is the determinate for the award according to the new rules. Beside he will win the la liga, even if he did not win anyother trophy, he has done enough to win it.

Does Benzema deserves the Ballon d’Or.


First player with 8 goals in a single UCL knockout stage since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2016-17

- Outrageous Panenka penalty to make it 4-3 �
YES
- Highest goalscorer in this season's Champions League with 14 goals

- 41 goals in 41 games this season.�

Big Benz!



Most goals in a single Champions League season:

⚽️1⃣7⃣ Cristiano Ronaldo (2013/14)
⚽️1⃣6⃣ Cristiano Ronaldo (2015/16)
⚽️1⃣5⃣ Cristiano Ronaldo (2017/18)
⚽️1⃣5⃣ Robert Lewandowski (2019/20)
⚽️1⃣4⃣ Lionel Messi (2011/12)
⚽️1⃣4⃣ Karim Benzema (2021/22)


What Karim Benzema is doing this season in the UCL is amazing
But let's not forget that it used to be a norm for Cristiano Ronaldo.

YES

That Benzema is been hyped up for the next ballon d or shows the lack of quality strikers in the modern game now. Benzema has not done what great players like drogba, Eto, Rooney, Shevchenko, crespo, Suarez, kun etc did in their prime.

Debryune and Sallah should be among top of the list, they are so underrated.

It's so funny when you guys do this. Wetin bring Messi for this matter? The guy has paid his dues and he proved it to you over and over and over and over and over again!

Benzema is good, but compared to Leo, em never baff! Una don use Ronaldo, Salah, Lewy and Benzema dey compare with Messi.

Bukayo Saka go score hatrick next week and you guys would definitely compare him to Messi.

Know this! Messi is in his twilight of his career and him still giving 13 assists in a season is mind blowing! Damn! He must be a soccer god.

obembet:
Don't be surprise when they give Messi o.

e fit happen, maybe that time you go kuku jump inside lagoon.

this topic will better be debated on afta d UEFA champions league and league matches.
though he has performed incredibly well so far dis season.
my thoughts though

Don't mind those hypocrites, they supported lewa because messi was involved last year.

hatakekakashi:

why una dey this petty? Messi played a Tournament, won Player of the Tournament, won highest goal scorer, won highest assist, all in same Tournament that last year. Even Ronaldo have never done such before.have some respect man.

Benzima is phenomenal so far this season both in LALIGA and the UEFA champions league, banging in goals from left right and centre but don't forget this is a World cup year and for any player to win the Balloon D'Or their overall performance in the world cup will form a huge part of the debate.
I think he is a big candidate for the prestigious award but we have other players that are doing relatively well too.

paulolee:
he would claim it if city wins the league and UCL bt benzema can stiill win it bcoz of the perez factor

and Madrid is winning the league, don't forget he won UEFA nation league this same season and don't forget that he won Spanish super cup this January,kdb and Salah are not coming closer even if they win ucl,if Messi can win it with Copa America alone Big Benz is going home with it because of that screamer he scored to win France that UNL and that goal won the best goal

robosky02:
Big Benz is the Best in football world for now..



Karim Benzema replaces Messi in the Champions League royalty �

And you just have to remove Messi...

paulolee:

it's shouldn't matter, Messi won the award thrice without winning the champions league

world cup doesn't count because of the new rules now the new rule is from when season starts to when it ends not a whole year and Benz already won UEFA nation league, Spanish super cup,this week he will lift laliga so what else remain

This is a world cup year.
The winner of the world cup world be in a better position to win the award.

Debruyne has done well... But, this belongs to Benzema!!! It's overdue!

Both competitions.


Ligue 1:
Mbappe 22 goals, Messi 4 goals
Mbappe 14 assists, Messi 13 assists

UCL:
Mbappe 6 goals, Messi 5 goals
Mbappe 4 assists, Messi 0 assists

Coupe de France:
Mbappe 5 goals, Messi 0 goals
Mbappe 0 assists, Messi 0 assists


Like I said, Mbappe outperformed Messi in EVERY competition.
Are you okay now?

These comparisons ain't necessary na. The GOAT stuff ain't by argument.

Messi won Ligue 1. Messi already qualified for UCL 2023. Messi already in Qatar.

Ohh I forgot, you guys haven't still recovered from 2009 & 2011 finals?

Long overdue

he is a strong contender 4 the ballon d'or already cos the organizers of the ballon d'or now has a new format of only uses statistics from august to may of the season. Its only fifa the best dat will use the world cup as part of their criteria. So ballon d'or organisers will use the world cup as part of there next season criteria

Okay.
If that is the case I strongly believe he is the best player on the planet currently and denying him the award is impossible.
