On the evening of April 13, Beijing time, the well-known Spanish media "As" looked forward to this year's Golden Globe Awards. And Real Madrid's real Madrid striker Benzema, who has just scored four goals against Chelsea in two legs and led the team to the semi-finals, is undoubtedly the number one favorite of this year's Ballon d'Or Awards.
Previously, French Football has officially confirmed that the 2022 Ballon d'Or awards will be issued in October this year, which also means that the Qatar World Cup (November 21 to December 18, 2022) is not the scope of this year's Ballon d'Or awards. The reference period for this year's Golden Globe Awards is from August last year to July this year. It also means that whoever wins this season's Champions League will be very likely to be elected.
And this season's Champions League, with the big Paris, Manchester United, Bayern out of succession, the previous big hit Messi, Mbappe, C Ronaldo, Levan have basically withdrawn from the competition. Levan was Benzema's number one rival, with polish goalscorer scoring 47 goals in 41 games of the tournament. Unfortunately, Levan has stopped in the Champions League quarter-finals with Bayern. If you want to win the Ballon d'Or, a Bundesliga title is clearly not enough.
Benzema was voted the Ballon d'Or, with only two main rivals left, both from the Premier League. They were Manchester City midfielder De Bruyne and Liverpool striker Salah. De Bruyne has played in 36 games this season, contributing 14 goals and 8 assists, while Salah has played 39 games, contributing 28 goals and 11 assists. And Manchester City and Liverpool are still fighting in the Champions League.
It is worth noting that if Manchester City eliminates Atletico, the semi-finals will be against Real Madrid. At that time, the two golden globe favourites of Benzema and De Bruyne will usher in direct dialogue. Who can laugh last in this year's Golden Globe competition, the semi-final match between the two sides will play a large decisive role.
