Asked by El ChiringuitoFrench striker Karim Benzema wanted to react to the 2024 Ballon d’Or, ultimately won to everyone’s surprise by Rodri: “I don’t want to talk about France Football. Vinicius made a lot of effort, when Real Madrid became European champions, he was decisive in every match. So…I don’t think there’s anyone else who deserves it more than him. He deserved the Ballon d’Or. I’m very sad for Vini because he really deserved to win the Ballon d’Or. I have nothing against Rodri, he’s a good player, but I’m on my couch watching TV and Rodri doesn’t do anything that makes you go ‘wow pfff’. Vini does this more than once. »he declared.
Before continuing with his former teammate Vinicius Junior who, according to him, should be the big winner of this 2024 Ballon d’Or: “Vini Jr. deserved to win the Ballon d’Or. I spoke with Vini, he is sad. It’s normal. I was sad, that’s normal. It’s a bit complicated because when the whole world sees you win the Ballon d’Or, but on the last day, a few hours before, they tell you that you’re not going to win. Vinicius is a good boy, he will work and he will win the Ballon d’Or one day“, he concluded. The message is sent.
