Bringing Real Madrid To La Liga And Champions League Champions, Karim Benzema Gets Lionel Messi's Support To Win The 2022 Ballon D'Or: There's No Doubt

JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Lionel Messi does not hesitate to nominate Karim Benzema to get the 2022 Ballon d'Or title. According to him, the French player really deserves to be the best player this season.

Messi's support for Benzema is not without reason. The 34-year-old player showed impressive performances throughout the 2021/2022 season. This is also evidenced by the fact that Benzema was able to deliver Los Blancos to the treble winners.

In addition to the La Liga and Champions League trophies, Benzema also helped Real Madrid win the Spanish Super Cup. The former Olympique Lyon player managed to score 44 goals and 15 assists in all competitions.

"There's no doubt (Benzema won the Ballon d'Or), it's very clear that Benzema had a spectacular year and ended with a win in the Champions League," Lionel Messi said, quoted by NBC.

"He is fundamental in all matches from the last 16 onwards. I think there is no doubt this year," added the Argentine.

Not only that, Messi also said that Benzema had become a nightmare for PSG in the last 16 of the Champions League. But the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is also motivated to be able to show his best again after watching Benzema develop.

"The Real Madrid game killed us, me and everyone in the dressing room. We had a lot of expectations. It made me want to win again," he concluded.
