JAKARTA - Karim Benzema has always been a big fan of Ronaldo Nazario. And he will always be proud to admit it.

Both players are wearing jersey No. 9 at Real Madrid and it seems the admiration between the two is mutual.

Ronaldo, the current president and maximum shareholder of Real Valladolid, was asked who deserves this year's Ballon d'Or award.

"Without a doubt, my candidate for the Ballon d'Or is Benzema," he said.

"The best striker in the world, a very high level for 10 years and a champion above all else. Deserves the award, don't you think?" he continued.

The Ballon d'Or ceremony will be held on November 29, 2021.
