[Benzema and those records that belong to the Ballon d'Or]
Benzema is the 8th Ballon d'Or winner in Real Madrid history, winning the 12th Ballon d'Or for Real Madrid and the 8th in the Perez era. With this Ballon d'Or, Real Madrid equalled Barça and tied for the club with the most Ballon d'Or. Among them, C. Ronaldo won 4 for Real Madrid and Messi won 7 for Barca. In terms of the distribution of the Ballon d'Or, Real Madrid is superior.
Benzema is also the fifth French player to win the Ballon d'Or, the seventh time the Ballon d'Or has been presented to the Frenchman by the French media. This puts France on a par with Portugal, the Netherlands, Argentina and Germany as the country with the most Ballon d'Or. Portugal's biggest contributor to the Ballon d'Or is C. Ronaldo (5), France is Platini (3), and Argentina is all won by Messi, although Di Stéfano and Sivoli are both Argentinian, but they both represented Spain and Italy when they won the awards.
He is also the second player of Arab origin to win the prize since Zidane in 1998. Benzema is the 7th player of African descent to win the award (previously Eusebio, Gullit, Weah, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, C. Ronaldo) and the 13th African Ballon d'Or. Of course, C. Rowe is only 12.5% of African descent (great-grandmother is from Cape Verde in Africa). #Golden Globe Awards# #France# #皇马 #
