Karim Benzema won all the covers yesterday, and deservedly so, since he won the Ballon d'Or for the first time in his career, after years of trying.
The Frenchman was the best player in every competition he played and won, such as La Liga or the most important one, the UEFA Champions League. In the voting, the French striker was the winner by a wide margin over Kevin de Bruyne and Sadio Mane, who completed the podium.

One of the many people present to observe the award was Kylian Mbappe, Karim's teammate on the French national team. After his constant controversy with a possible departure from PSG and an arrival at Real Madrid, some statements by the president lowered Kylian's fumes.
Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, was asked about Mbappé but said that he was already tired of the Mbappé issue, and said that in Madrid there are players who can win the Ballon d'Or, like Vinicius or Rodrygo.
What exactly were his words?
'It's not that Mbappe bores me, it's that I don't even read it. We had a good summer, that doesn't have chicha anymore. Now it doesn't make any sense. Players are now making spectacular progress up front. Rodrygo and Vinicius are two cracks'.
