“Benzema deserves the Ballon d’Or”, Lionel Messi expressed in an interview with TyC Sports a few days ago. Faced with this, and after the match against Denmark, the Real Madrid player was consulted on what the Argentine said. “What Messi said made me very happy”, he did not hesitate to comment.
“Messi’s words give me a lot of motivation to keep doing things. It made me very happy,” he commented Karim Benzema after France’s 2-1 loss to Denmark in the UEFA Nations League.
Over the past season, the Frenchman’s numbers have been impressive. In 46 games he scored 44 goals. In addition, he was the main figure of a Real Madrid that won the Scudetto and the Champions League. And this Friday he reached 50 goals this season after scoring his sixth goal of the year for France.
His high level earned him reconsideration for the national team and he will almost certainly have a secured spot for Qatar. It will be an added value for a team that will try to defend the title obtained four years ago.
The Cat scored what was a true goal in France’s 2-1 loss to Denmark in the Nations League. The next match for the Gauls will be next Monday against Croatia, repeating what was the last world final.
