Ballon d'Or: Karim Benzema's surprising vote for the Kopa trophy

This Monday, the Ballon d’Or ceremony took place and it was once again Lionel Messi who won his 8th trophy. As for the Kopa Trophy, England international Jude Bellingham walked on water and won this distinction for best prospect. And for this trophy, unlike the Ballon d’Or where it is the journalists who vote, it is the former Ballon d’Or who choose the winner. And who says Ballon d’Or says Karim Benzema, 2022 winner.

In today’s edition, France Football revealed the details of the votes and we were therefore able to discover Karim Benzema’s preference. The Frenchman was chauvinistic since he placed… Eduardo Camavinga in number one. Another surprising choice, he decided to place Pedri in number 2 and finally Jude Bellingham in 3rd position. KB9 was one of the few to snub Jamal Musiala, author of an XXL season with Bayern Munich.
