On May 5, Beijing time, the Champions League semi-finals ended, Real Madrid eliminated Manchester City after extra time, Rodrigo scored twice, benzema was a passing achievement, but also added a heavy weight to his golden ball award!
Starting this year, the Golden Globes selection has been reformed, and the most important changes are two points. The first is the time period, which has changed from the past according to the natural year to the season. The second is the change in the selection criteria, first looking at the individual performance of the players, followed by the team honor, removing the consideration of the player's career.
Of course, individual performance and team honor are inseparable, if you only look at individual performance, especially goal data, then the Ballon d'Or becomes the European Golden Boot. When it comes to team honors, the World Cup is not in the time period of this year's award, so the most important thing is the Champions League.
So how did Benzema perform? La Liga 26 goals and 11 assists, the top scorer list and assist list are the first; after the penalty goal in this game, the Champions League 15 goals, the top of the top scorer list, the Golden Boot is not suspenseful; 2 hat-tricks in the knockout stage, 1 double, so far scored 10 goals, equaling the single-season Champions League knockout record held by C Ronaldo.
With a successful pass in this game, Benzema once again showed his superstar style, making 43 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring 43 goals and assisting 15 times! And as Real Madrid enters the Champions League final, even if he does not win the championship in the end, he can become the biggest favorite of the Ballon d'Or with his excellent performance!
Of course, if he can finally win the championship, then Benzema will lift the Ballon d'Or, which is almost no suspense! That will also be his fifth Champions League trophy, equaling Cristiano Ronaldo and becoming the player with the most titles since the Champions League restructuring!
