Benzema Optimistic Of Winning BALLON D’OR 2021
Karim Benzema said hopes he will win the Ballon d’Or when the award is handed out on November 29th.
Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski, and Jorginho are just some of the frontrunners for world football’s most prestigious individual award, but the Real Madrid forward also has a good chance of winning the trophy for the first time in his career.
Last year he was the second-highest scorer in La Liga. Benzema scored 30 goals for the club last season, his joint-highest haul, and has 293 goals for the side since his arrival in 2009
The France international says he is happy to be in contention.
“The Ballon d’Or? We’ll see what happens, but I hope so,” he said after France’s 2-0 win over Finland in World Cup qualifying.
“I’m happy to be involved, to feature and score in the games. I’m so happy and I hope this can continue. In any case, the World Cup should be one of our targets given the team we have.”
