benzema is the hottest favorite for the ballon because of his hot individual stats this season dt seems to be his best ever but I think the UCL would be a key factor in determining the winner since the usual favorites like messi n cr7 did nothing this year..
Madrid already gat the league n if dey win the UCL or even making the finals would make benzema win it easily
if city win the league n the UCL, de bruyne will win it and if sallah wins 3 trophies or the UCL and the league means he may win it..
if benzema gets knocked out next week, he may also win it If city n Liverpool shares the UCL and the EPL..
for benzema to lose this award means either kdb or sallah MUST win the EPL and the UCL..
benzema gat such advantage bcox he is the best individually and also because of the perez factor but any of sallah or kdb winning the league and UCL cant be ignored for benzema..

You are talking rubbish, what of Mane

Soso990240:
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.

Go play boy, football doesn't start and end with Ronaldo vs Messi arguments.

BlaqFaze:
If Messi don expire, ronaldo don dey dustbin try try

ronaldo wey don die troway sotay you dey here dey hype Benzema, see as e bend mouth like big Benz guy if you get mind hype your trash

Ronaldo is miles ahead of Messi when their performances are compared to each other this season now. Abi I don't understand your line of argument o.

"Does Karim Benzema deserve..."


Is that supposed to be a serious question or a joke?!!

Like, is there even anyone else competing with him?!! Who else comes close?!!

Dem suppose even give am the award before world cup sef!

Before he gets robbed like Lewandoski!!!

Honestly,lewy wasnt robbed.him and messi deserved him though messi slghtlyp

Cityfirstborn:
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.

You so right !

In fact, he deserves it more than anyone else.

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 �

- 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.

Even though he deserve it the French journalists that select winners in there sitting room would want to give it to Messi simply because he won the French league. Fake award

For leading team to knocking Chelsea out of UCL abeg he deserve am he no easy..

Salah has been better

Searchingvictor:
Nobody is closer to him

Mo Salah > Benz

andrewbaba44:
Drogba that cannot average 1 goal in every 2 Epl games ,it took him ages to score 100 epl goals ,even salah and mane had outscored him with lesser games

Rooney Na agba ,one of the best goal scorers in the epl ,don’t compare him to drogba

without taking anything away from Rooney, I think you are being not fair towards Drogba. If your logic is to be followed, you will also pick Romelu Lukaku ahead of Drogba.
Didier Drogba was so good that he scored 10 goals in 10 cup finals for Chelsea, coupled with two times EPL Golden Boot.

No salah is over hyped even mane is better than him

It would be a broad day light robbery, if they don't give him. Besides, I don't believe this useless award because Politics and sentiments full am.

fergie001:
It's a World Cup year and that will somewhat play a very big factor, but for now Karim is #1 on the list.

the award is now seasonal and not yearly

does he deserve it more than Mane??

if is not him... who else then[i]

MANE all the way

You forgot sadio mane he also have some trophies under his belt both at country and club level in the same calender year and also in fine form.
I know because of his skin color no one will recognize him or his performance.

The big BENZ...

robosky02:

He literally has the most goals and most assists in the PL.

Mane only picked form after the Nations cup, this year of which, even his form is nothing to Salah's.

Mane's only edge is the Nations cup he won with Senegal.
