Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema has won the 2022 Player of the Year Award in Paris on Monday night.
This would be the forward’s first Ballon d’Or of his career. The 34-year-old had never finished inside the top three in previous years, but he finished today ahead of Kevin De Bruyne, Sadio Mane and Robert Lewandoski.
The award was presented by former Real Madrid’s coach Zinedine Zidane at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris, France.
The striker begins to offer words of thanks and cites Zizou and Ronaldo as inspirations.
