Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema sent a message about the FIFA The Best awards which he shared with his more than 66.6 million followers on Instagram.

The French player posted on his Instagram stories an image with all the titles, trophies and awards he achieved with Real Madrid and the France national team in the period of time that The Best FIFA 2022 Awards were analysing to award their prizes, and in which he highlighted his 63 goals and 21 assists.

Lionel Messi was the winner of the FIFA The Best 2022 Best of the Year Award, with Benzema and Kylian Mbappe joining the Argentinian on the hypothetical podium.

Benzema, the latest Ballon d'Or winner, did not forget his teammate Vinicius Jr, who despite being one of the most outstanding players in the world in recent months did not make the team of the ideal XI according to The Best awards.

The French striker shared a photo alongside Vinicius as "The Beasts". Shortly afterwards Benzema wished all his followers "good night".

Benzema recently helped Real Madrid to an impressive 5-2 victory against Liverpool at Anfield in the UEFA Champions League round of 16. Los Blancos will be looking to finish the job back in Madrid later in March in order to try and defend their crown.
