In an interview with Marca, Dani Alves, who is still an FC Barcelona player, felt that Karim Benzema “deserves” the Ballon d'Or this season. The Brazilian team was once again praising the French striker of Real Madrid.
Despite the rivalry between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, Dani Alves believes Karim Benzema “deserves” to win the Ballon d'Or this season. Already Spain's champions Madrid club qualified for the final of the Champions League by beating Manchester City on Wednesday.
'He took Real Madrid to places it hadn't before'
The writer of the double in the first leg of the semi-finals, Karim Benzema, made a decisive pass to Rodrigo for a 1–1 goal, this time 3–1 on penalties before sending his team to the final. “The Champions League is going to have a lot of impact. If he gets it, he's a serious candidate, although there are other names whether it's Manchester City or Liverpool. There are players who can fight. But Karim Benzema deserves it. because he has taken Real Madrid to places where it was not before in terms of the game and other aspects,” said Dani Alves in an interview with Marca.
This is not the first time this season that Danny Alves has praised Karim Benzema. Already, the Catalonia returnee had publicly congratulated “KB9” this season after the French international's hat-trick against PSG in the round of 16 comeback. “I don't care if he is a Madrid player, but which player, which player is Karim Benzema! I love this game,” said the Brazilian side, who is also a former Parisian.
During this Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool, there will also be a small individual challenge between Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane or Mohamed Salah, who are one of the main favorites for the next Ballon d'Or. As a reminder, Lionel Messi's successor will be appointed at the end of the current season and the rules have been clarified, with the “individual performance” that will take precedence over the vote. With 43 goals this season and a significant impact on Real Madrid's game and results, Karim Benzema has a great chance of lifting the most coveted individual trophy.

Without politics and racism.. he is the best candidate with AFCON Cup (3goals) FA cup Finalist, Champions finalist (5goals so far) EFL cup winner, 2nd position premier league table with 15 goals so far, world cup participant so far. I stand with Mane

If anyone thinks Mane deserves it more than Benzema, they should have a look at this. There is no debate about who should win it this year because it’s crystal clear. ⚽️🏆❤️

Bro check his stats with Benzema who has better stats - league winner - top scorer in UcL by a mile - top assist provider and goal scorer in league - faced tougher opponents with a weaker team compared to Liverpool- The only difference is Mane won African cup but its not Benzema fault he doesn’t play thier 😂 Mane would not even make PL 11 this season - Salah would be even ahead over him
