Karim Benzema reacts to disappointing fourth place

0

He had not made the trip from Madrid to attend the seventh coronation – the first “at home” – of Lionel Messi, Monday evening at the Théâtre du Châtelet. Considered one of the favorites for the Ballon d’Or, Karim Benzema had to settle for fourth place, with 239 points. His best ranking to date certainly, but far from the podium (Jorginho, 3rd, collected 460 points) and especially far from his golden childhood dream (Messi displays 613 units).

The Real and Blues striker reacted soberly on social networks, in English. In French version, it goes something like this: “Thanks to everyone who supports me, I play football for you and the show must go on. “

Let’s just hope that soon to be 34 years old, on December 19, KB (1) 9 can digest his disappointment better than Franck Ribéry, who still has his non-victory at the 2013 Ballon d’Or in his throat. That year, the zebulon of Bayern Munich had yet signed a superb treble Champions League – Bundesliga – German Cup. But he had only finished third, behind the winner Cristiano Ronaldo and a certain Lionel Messi.
