Lionel Messi was the big winner at the delivery of The Best, a prize awarded by FIFA to the best players of the season. The captain of the Argentine team won the prestigious award for the second time, beating Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappé in the votes. After the award ceremony, the Real Madrid striker, who decided not to attend the ceremony, left an intriguing story on Instagram. Who was it addressed to?
On social networks there were various theories as to why Karim Benzema decided not to attend The Best awards ceremony organized by FIFA. Among the most popular theories is that of: Benzema already knew that he was not going to win it and decided not to go. In addition, it should be noted that Real Madrid did not send any player or coach to the gala, a clear contempt for the prizes by the team. Considering that Carlo Ancelotti did not win the coach of the year, Thibaut Courtois did not win the goalkeeper of the year and Benzema did not win the best player, Real Madrid could have decided not to send representations so as not to make a fool of themselves.
After winning the World Cup in Qatar, being the main star of the competition, where he scored seven goals, gave three assists and was chosen as the Ballon d'Or, the '10' of the Albiceleste obtained The Best, in the ceremony organized in Paris by FIFA. In his speech, the Rosario dedicated the award to his family, teammates and the 45 million inhabitants of the country. In addition, he indicated that it is an honor to have competed against Mbappé and Benzema, who also had a great year.
After what happened in the French capital, Benzema, winner of the last Champions League, spoke through his Instagram account. The Real Madrid striker posted a video where he heard: "Liar, you lie", along with the phrase "Good night". Speculation immediately began about who the message was addressed to, since he chose the culmination of The Best to upload the story. Whatever the real reason, the reality is that Karim Benzema's story has already been taken as a lack of respect for Lionel Messi and his prize.

Although Karim Benzema became the leader of Real Madrid during 2022 and won five titles, including the Champions League and the Spanish league, Lionel Messi won the World Cup and was chosen as the best. Now, the 'Flea' is focused on defining his football future. After the key between PSG and Bayern Munich, it is estimated that there will be a meeting between the managers of the Ligue 1 champion and the environment of the most outstanding player of all time.-
