Can Kevin De Bruyne be the first Belgian ever to win the Golden Ball? The coming weeks will be crucial: “Best midfielder in the world, but Benzema deserves it now”

For the first time in history, a Belgian has a real chance of winning the Ballon d’Or. For the first time, that prestigious prize of France Football awarded not on the basis of the calendar year, but on the basis of the football season. This is therefore the moment for Kevin De Bruyne (30)… but also for Karim Benzema (34). The coming weeks will be more crucial than ever. We presented the dilemma to Thomas Buffel and Rafael van der Vaart, an ex-teammate of KDB and an ex-teammate of Benzema.
