Karim Benzema ends an extraordinary season, and will be rewarded with the Ballon d’Or. Even Mathieu Valbuena recognizes this.
Seven years after the start of the events, the famous affair of the “Valbuena sextape” ended with Karim Benzema’s renunciation to appeal. If this recognizes the involvement and conviction of the Real Madrid striker in the blackmail carried out during a gathering of the France team, this no longer has any impact on his international career. The proof, since his return to the Blues, Karim Benzema shines like never before, and hopes to increase his record by going for a world title in Qatar at the end of the year. In club, KB9 has won almost everything and the last Champions League, the first won without Cristiano Ronaldo, completes an incredible season. At the end of this, the Ballon d’Or will be awarded in October, for the 2021-2022 season. And for Mathieu Valbuena, victim in the sextape affair, despite the difference between the two players, his compatriot clearly deserves the Ballon d’Or and “Petit Vélo” says it bluntly.
Valbuena said what he thinks of Deschamps and Benzema
« It wouldn’t be honest to say he doesn’t deserve the Ballon d’Or. Yes, he deserves the Ballon d’Or. I can speak objectively on a sporting level… I am doing my merry way, he too, there is no problem “, confided Mathieu Valbuena to the Parisian. A speech which also allowed him to make it clear that he had not had a second chance in the France team when he is the victim in this affair. Even if the former OM player believes he has no resentment against Karim Benzema or even Didier Deschamps, claiming to have told the two men what he thought of the whole affair.
