Three weeks before the final result of the Ballon d’Or 2021, the support is linked. After Rafael Nadal last week, it was the coach of the France team who spoke of the chances of his striker Karim Benzema. “He’s a very serious candidate to win it”, said Didier Deschamps, who called him back to the France team before the Euro.

“From the moment Karim is one of the postulants, he is even a very serious candidate to win it, it is obviously all the evil that I wish him”, replied the technician, evoking Monday at a press conference “everything he has achieved this season in club and in the French team”.

The French striker of Real Madrid is one of the thirty candidates in the running for the 2021 Golden Ball, awarded on November 29. He competes in particular with the Argentinian Lionel Messi and the Pole Robert Lewandowski, both favorites, while the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, or the Italian Jorginho, crowned European champion last summer with Chelsea and the Italy, appear to be a cut below.
