- Only a few days ago Karim Benzema has finally been given his opportunity to shine and win the prestigious ballon d’or, which. He has the 2nd highest margin of victory of all time for the Ballon d’Or. One of the most difficult and clutch champions league runs of all time. Here's how and why he deserved it more than anyone else this year. Just how GOOD has Benzema been, really?

In my opinion, as much as I love Ronaldo - Benzema’s win should have been the largest margin in Ballon d’Or history. None of the other finalists come close to what Benzema has done imo. One of the toughest and most clutch runs a forward has ever had! Let me know what you think 🤔

*One normal choice from "France Football" and its pesudo and non-professional "journalists" since 2010..*
for example:
1 Balloon d'Or for Gerd Muller and 7 Balloon d'Or for Messi or 5 Balloon d'Or for Cristiano - is that normal? 🙂
*unlike them* Gerd Muller also was World Champion and not only..
i can say analogue also about Romario, man who won World Cup almost single-handedly (!).
that's minimum examples here for what "France Football" and its Balloon d'Or is farce and comedy..
anyway *overhyped, overrated and boring* Messi and Cristiano, with their 1000 *boring goals against Leganes, Osasuna, Luxembourg and Bolivia* and their 100 *false* Balloon d'Ors (thanks to great and very effective teammates like Modric, Xavi, Neymar, Iniesta, Benzema, Di Maria, Mbappe etc.) *will never be on level of Pele, Zidane and even Maradona.* *on level of true GOATs..*
unlike some pseudo "experts" and PR machine..
van basten baln dor.
Bro make video about Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.. he's arguably greatest talent in football after Zidane..
Benzema’s UCL campaign last season was better than any of CR7’s..
Man scored 3 against PSG, 4 against Chelsea and 3 against City…all clutch…ridiculous

If you genuinely like football, this channel is literally made for you to know & understand the game better! Keep up the good work raymar 👏🏻
appreciate the kind words brother 🙏 really means a lot that you guys enjoy ❤️
I think the biggest strength of Raymar is that he provides a lot of missing context you wouldn't see with stats alone. Sometimes you can look at players in history and you wonder why they were hyped when you see their stats, but Raymar gives an understanding of what other teams were like at the time, how far the sport had come at that stage of a players career, what players they would be compared to in their era and sometimes the players that just came before them.
Agreed Raymar knows his stuff 👍

Benzema is just my favorite player of all time, I have other players that ive followed such as Zidane, Ronaldinho, R9, CR7, Messi... but he's the one that just breath football the most, in the goals, the technique, the way he makes all his teamates better, the fact that he's a true team player in a team game, still able to score when needed, his controls are just insane, he never had a red card in his whole career, had very few yellows, he's very elegant on the field.
Karim is the man.
❤true
Benzema has always been world-class, but he now is a monster. One of the best ever.
One of the best ever😂😂😂😂
always been world class..2013-2020 benzema says no

@@french_toast223 new GOaT in town lmao 🤣
@@user-tf7wn9qt8l He was much better than given credit for
I will always say, I’m glad I supported this man from his worse days at Madrid & I genuinely always loved him as a player. Never did I ever think I would live to see the day Benz is a Balon de Oro winner, never. Now that this has happened…life literally feels complete. After years of hearing fans talk down on him or trash him cuz Suarez, Lewa, Ibra or Aguero are “better” this just feels perfect. I’m so glad Zidane made him the undisputed #9 at Madrid.
My Boi Benzi ❤ 🎉 He deserves everything
Ozil a legend for that meme haha
Thoroughly, thoroughly deserved. I've always felt like he's so underrated, partly because...well...CR7. Even back then, if sometimes he doesn't do much in a game, the stuff he DOES do was always amazing.
Very happy for him!
Though I'm a Barcelona fan, I have always liked Benzema because he was always really underrated. He has always been a consistent player and also very humble. I'm glad he has now gotten the recognition he always deserved.
Barca fan here, he 100% deserves it 👏
In my opinion always thought benzema was in the top 3 stikers in the world when Suarez was in barca and lewa was at bayern and we see that when the team needs him the most he steps up to the plate. As a barca fan, I'm very happy that he won and it is fully deserved.👍
To be fair both Lewa and Suarez are better players in their prime. Lewa was robbed in 2020 despite having a better performance than benzema’s 2022 season and Suarez’s prime coincided with Messi and cr7.

As a barca fan being happy that the captain of real won the ballon dor. If ur serious, ur not a barca fan my friend.
@@schuhseinvater4719 so u wouldnt be happy that someone who deserved the ballon dor got it. Cmon man suarez dives alot and i dislike him as a person on the field but id be happy if he won ballon dor like benz.
I'm not a football fan but I truly enjoy your videos! The case of Benzema is a life example of persistence and discipline!
As a barca fan,I say that Karim deserve the Ballon d'or more than any body else
Thank you for reminding me the 19-20 season I absolutely forgot so many of our players were covid positive and yet we managed to win.. Bez and Ramos were the biggest protagonist that season
he really put the club on his BACK 🎒
That champions league run was insane
the fact of him scoring around 10 goals in cristiano's last season at madrid to scoring 30+ every year since, shows great teamwork, still blows my mind and shows how a quality player can be hugely overshadowed by one of the greats
but people being people would always say dont blame cristiano
benzema was made fun of, used to miss easy tap-ins but that was due to him actually playing a much supportive role almost an attacking mid, which actually improved his passing and dribbling quite a bit and reduced his "scoring skill"
But when he was needed as the leading man, he performed and here we are
and his overall personality also seems really good as a teammate
He only scored 5 in the league for you to be a striker that's horrible numbers. But he had okay numbers b4 that season his numbers was never insane to begin with he's like Wayne Rooney
Benzema definitely deserved that award no question about it
The embodiment of stay down till you come up 💯
21/22 UCL was the most exciting year for me as a RM fan. Benzema's goals against Chelsea and Man City weren't easy, especially the header he received from VJ. To the haters who think RM clinched the title by luck, they don't know shit about football.
Benzema was insane, but Rodrygo’s b2b goals against city was something I never expected 😂 craziest ending ever tbh
You don t know shi about football If you think Real didn t win the final against liverpool by luck you are delusional and I m a Real Madrid fan.People need to stop d riding Benzema he is nothing but an average striker without the incredible mids behind him the most valuable players for Real are easily Valverde and Modric not Benzema:)
@@Asp3ct.7. If you're going to follow that logic, then Liverpool can just hand their "lucky CL" over since Allison was their MOTM during their final against Spurs.
@@Asp3ct.7.you’re not a Rma fan but a Liverpool butthurt if you believe that Rma won the Ucl by “pure luck”.No one wins titles by luck. They won it by being flawless towards the net & wall in the defense. Also without Benzema Rma would have never won these titles, so your take is braindead
Yes this is one of the most deserving balandor ever
You had to mention that he panenkened the penalty against city. Pure goosebumps
Benzema has been killing it, been so class, he definitely deserves it! That win against PSG especially was amazing. Where players like Neymar left because they didn't want to be in the shadows of the best player (which, fair from them, I get their point obviously), Benzema stayed and did everything for the team, and in the end, it paid off. I can really enjoy Benema's play!
it's kinda ironic that neymar left and didn't win imo
91 goals is the most deserved my friend.
Karim is the definition of Perseverance
Hardwork always pays off 👍🏻
finally a deserved winner after 5 years
Ronny robbed in 2018
modric did not deserve 2018
4 years
Just because Penaldo fell off, doesn’t mean the award is irrelevant 😂😂
The Messi hate here is obvious
You simply cannot hate him, respect
What a beautiful story !!!!....
Just like sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful
You just can't hate Benzema. Another Legend added to football
Benzema had a huge talent since he was at Lyon as top 10 players in the world. Grand technique and great dribbler and finisher, but his mentality and child like behavior was always standing in his way of playing football with efficiency in mind. That lack of mentality is what keeps a lot of huge talents becoming great. In the latest years he's like a fine wine in his prime and experience is key. But the fact that he deserved it the most than other winners is a bit exaggerated. He deserved it and that's that and i'm really happy for him, because his latest game is top notch.
People need to realize that it wasn’t just Ronaldo who he had to share the glory with… it was Higuaín until 2012-13 which was Higuaín a last season. People try to blame ronaldo but they forget he had to share the same position with another great striker for his 4 seasons at Madrid…
yes, indeed!
It was competition's issue
The truth is he wasnt that good from the jump that's why he got overshadowed by almost all the forwards at Madrid. It seems like he started taking his career more seriously when Ronaldo left
The scary part is Real Madrid have a youth and veteran team and in a couple of years they will keep dominating 😳
Not yet
From a barca fan
I think that Benzema deserves the Ballon d’Or and I’m happy for him 💪😊
I also feel like senior squad members like him and Modric should be credited with the development of young stars like Vini, Camavinga and Velverde.
One of the few players who has no haters ❤❤
Anybody who thinks that Benzema didn't deserve it this year has never touched a football in his life. Man has been crushing it lately.
I love benzema this was really deserved benzi the boy
The People's Ballon d'Or!!!
Great Video! I just want to raise the point that Benzema, although not as valuable as he is now, was still amazingly valuable for Real Madrid alongside CR7. He was the perfect complementary striker with his passing and pressuring and all the other little things he does. He was being held back in the goal scoring department, but was probably even a little better everywhere else. The point is just that his talent was not wasted alongside CR7, it was just not as obvious.
Amazing as USUAL
Didn’t mean peak madrid dynasty, I meant dawn of the madrid dynasty in the beginning* mb 😂

Its so sweet on how the first goal in blife for benzema was to get a house for his mother what a nice man😊😊😊😊
Raymar always killin it! Glad to see some new videos lately! Love it bro!!
Don't think I've ever heard Raymar as excited as in this video 😀
Our boy BENZI!!! 🤍
BENZI
Selfless players like Benzema, Suarez etc. are so underrated.
gotta admit suarez at barca was super underrated. but before he joined I hated how much demon energy he had 😂
I don't really think Suarez is underrated many agree he is the greatest striker of our generation, and top 10 striker of all time.
Another masterpiece 🙌
appreciate you my guy 🙌
Benzy the big cat that’s a real man’s man 😭
Amazing video as always. Keep them coming 👍👍👍
thank you brother 🙏
Love the blue lock reference mate!

Real Karim ❤️
I always thought benzene was a really skilled and all round player a true talent indeed
Raymar always taking his time to make quality videos! Respect bro
Appreciate it brother! I’ll try to improve my editing and adding better graphics and other things 🙏
the big thing about Benzema is just how he knows what role to play
throughout most his Real Madrid career he was the side man, to the CR7 and the Bale, but when the former left and the latter was chased out by the ungrateful fans and press, he switched up and became the main man, I honestly can't think of any other strikers that can do that, I can think of some for each role, such as Lewa or Suarez as the main man, or a Heskey for the side man, but none that can do both to even a competent level let alone Benzema's elite among elite level
Suarez as main man 😂
Pessi was the main man there😂
@@ChrisMDi except he really wasn't, yes he still put out numbers beyond belief, more because he was and is one of the best players of all time, but throughout his career especially the entire time Suarez was there, he was never the absolute focal point, always being more creative
and if you're calling him "Pessi" I would assume you're a Ronaldo fan and would know that even more due to the endless debate and how often the phrase "Messi is more creative where Ronaldo is more a finisher" (or words to that effect) came up
Honestlly he deserved it. He humiliated my psg but i really like him for his talent
benzema doing this at 34 really shows how good ronaldo is imo. If hes this good at 34 imagine what he coudlve done in his 20s. CR7 really is just built different
Good vid!
I always wait for your videos bro love your content ❤️🤘

@@RaymarFootball hey raymar could I get a pin 📌 please
There’s a thing, last year and since many years there were 170 journalists who voted for the ballon d’or but this year is special since only 100 journalists could vote. Which means if there were as many voters as when Ronaldo 2016 won his, Benzema should have had the most votes and the biggest gap between the 1st and 2nd picks which I think is incredible. Congrats Big Benz u clearly deserves it 👏👏
beautiful
Benzema received the balloon d'or for his entire career
Hey raymar! Could you do a 'How good was George Best?' Video? One of the most interesting players, as well as an all time great
Raymar giving a shout out to blue lock , nice 👏
yes sir 😂 you know whats up!
I still remember when Karim benzema still at Lyon people use to compare his still of football with legendary Ronaldo (brazil)
I didnt know he was overlooked like that i grew up thinking he was one of the best on earth never rooted for his team hated a lot of his teammates even but always respected this man
❤love your videos ... love from Nepal ❤️❤️❤️🔥
shoutout to Nepal 🇳🇵 💯 ❤
You forgot to mention how much Ronaldo helped Benzema too. Years ago when Benzema was much more inconsistent, Ronaldo would give him MANY passes that lead to goal-scoring opportunities, many of which weren't scored by Benzema. I remember in the 2017/2018 season when Benzema was going MONTHS without scoring, and with the Real Madrid fans booing him, during a game Benzema gave Ronaldo a back heel assist and Ronaldo pointed to Benzema asking the crowd to applaud him for his assist. I'm pretty sure later that game, Ronaldo had a penalty to take to complete his hat trick, but gave it to Benzema to end his goal-scoring drought and gain confidence. Yes Benzema helped Ronaldo alot, but Ronaldo arguably helped Benzema more, and Benzema himself stated Ronaldo was his inspiration for working harder, taking a leadership role in the team, and essentially fill Cristiano's shoes at Real Madrid

Benzema is my 2nd favorite player and I play like him and mentality

Benzema waited a long time to get the Ballon D'or. In 2017, a lot of people wrote off Benzema but when Ronaldo left he hit form like no other. No question Benzema deserve the Ballon D'or.
Not only is he a good football player.
He also made his mother proud
Love the little Blue Lock reference😂💯
you’re a real one 😂 🤝

It's just crazy how 44 goals is insane when messi and Ronaldo did that every season
No disrespect to benzema, just saying how people get used to greatness
@@oreos922 44 goals is always insane by world standards, considering that messi and ronaldo unarguably the greatest from 2010's decade,
its that benzema could match the performance of it, and his campaign difficulty on 21/22 season is really special.
It is insane considering his age and how he helped his team clutch trophies with it
I loved shout out to blue lock lmao😅
