JAKARTA - Karim Benzema's fantastic year closed with his Ballon d'Or victory earlier this week. The French striker admits that he has now completed all his dreams.
The striker has been outspoken about his achievements, stating that he has always wanted to be recognized as the best player in the world. However, that wasn't the only goal he made for himself.
"This is my best season because in the end I got the Ballon d'Or," he told RMTV quoted Friday.
"I've dreamed of it since I was a kid. It's been the best season of my life.
"I have fulfilled the three dreams I have in my life: buying a house for my mother, signing a contract with Real Madrid, because it is the best club in the world, and the third is the Ballon d'Or.
"I'm very proud of my job."
Benzema's star season is a big reason why Real Madrid won the Champions League, and he admits winning five of them with Los Blancos is a special achievement.
"This is history because we know how difficult it is to reach the final," he said.
"I didn't say to win it, but to achieve it.
"Winning the Champions League is very complicated, but five is history.
"Real Madrid is a club with history and that's why it's the best. Real Madrid will always win."
Although he proved himself to be a great Real Madrid player of all time, Benzema doesn't think he's on behalf of the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo.
"I'm not above Zizou and Ronaldo, we're different," he said.
They are examples and I can't do what they do on the pitch, but they help me to try to do it.
"I will never be at the level of both of them. They have won the Ballon d'Or and I have just done it. But it's hard to reach their level."
