What was an open secret has become a reality. There was only the possibility that Courtois snatched that title from him, but being a French magazine that awards the prize, added to the goals in the historic performances in the Champions League, they have made Karim win his first Ballon d’Or. With this I am not saying that He doesn’t deserve it, if not, Thibaut was more important at Real Madrid in the Champions League than Karim. A goalkeeper performance like the Belgian’s has never been seen in this competition. He will have to settle for the best goalkeeper award…
Life owed Karim one. After being criticized for years for being in the shadow of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Frenchman in an act of heroism, when Madrid was going through one of the worst sporting moments of recent times, he put on the cape of Superhero and gradually assumed , that he was the one chosen to lead a project that would end up winning the most beautiful Champions League in history. PSG, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool were subdued by a player in a state of grace, and not only were the best in Europe, the best in Spain were also able to experience this crazy version of KB9.
There has been no one who could face him to win this award. By numbers and by how spectacular it has been at every moment, in every detail, in every goal, in every dribble and in every pass. Because Benzema is a magical player, and magic is always recognized for the best. A time player who will be remembered forever in the history of Real Madrid, you deserve it more than anyone else, Karim.
