Rodrygo successfully won the Ballon d’Or this year, beating Vinicius. Benzema, currently playing for Al Ittihad, was interviewed by Spanish television channel El Chiringuito and came to Vinicius’s defense.
“I have no issue with Rodrygo winning the Ballon d’Or; he is an excellent player. However, when I watch matches from my couch, Rodrygo did not deliver a performance that would make you say ‘wow,’ whereas Vinicius has done so multiple times on the field.”
“Last season, when Real Madrid won the Champions League, Vinicius was the most hardworking and dedicated player. Moreover, he had decisive performances in every game. Vinicius winning the Ballon d’Or would be well-deserved.”
