Karim Benzema, a player for Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad Jeddah Club, spoke exclusively to Josep Pedrerol on the 'El Chiringuito' programme about the 'FIFA Ballon d'Or' award that his former teammate Vinicius (Real Madrid) did not win and was instead won by Spaniard Rodri Hernandez (Manchester City).
The 36-year-old French striker, who played with Vinicius at Real Madrid from 2018 to 2023, said of the Ballon d'Or that "I saw what happened with Vinicius... I don't want to talk about France Football or France. As I said a long time ago, and not only this year. Last year too and when I was at Real Madrid too. Vinicius is a player who has always made a lot of effort and it's not just about scoring goals."
Last year, when Real Madrid were champions of Europe, Vinicius was decisive in every game. So... I don't think there is anyone who deserves it more than himBenzema
Benzema argued to Edu Aguirre that, in his opinion, Vinicius should have won the Ballon d'Or: "Last year, when Real Madrid were European champions, Vinicius was decisive in every game. So... I don't think there is anyone who deserves it more than Vinicius."

The Lyon striker was keen to make it clear that "I have nothing against Rodri, who is a good player", although he wanted to qualify that "but I'm on my sofa, I watch TV and Rodri does not do things that I say 'Pffff', and Vinicius that has done it more than once".

"It's a bit sad and I don't feel good for Vinicius, who deserves the Ballon d'Or," Benzema said.

"I wrote him a message and he was sad. It's normal. It's a bit complicated when everyone sees you winning the Ballon d'Or and in the end, a day before or a few hours before they tell you that you are not going to win it. It's very complicated," he explained.
Benzema believes that "Vinicius is a good boy, he is going to work and one day he is going to win the Ballon d'Or".
