Saudi Arabian Al-Ittihad forward Karim Benzema shared his feelings about Manchester City midfielder Rodri winning the Ballon d'Or.
The Frenchman told Marca:
Karim Benzema
Last year, when Real Madrid were European champions, Vinicius was decisive in every game. So I don’t think there is anyone else who deserves it more than Vinicius. I’ve nothing against Rodri, good player… but I’m in my sofa watching TV and Rodri doesn’t do anything that makes you say: wow!
The Spanish national team player outperformed Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, respectively. Benzema himself received the award from France Football in 2022.
