Snubbed by Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema continues to show off his Ballon d’Or on social media.
Has Cristiano Ronaldo triggered Karim Benzema’s anger? Since the Portuguese international revealed that he preferred Kylian Mbappé to his former teammate at Real Madrid, “KB9” has been sending subliminal messages on his Instagram account.
A few hours after the video in which “CR7” snubs him was broadcast, the Al-Ittihad striker posted a photo of his Ballon d’Or, won in 2022, in his story. A photo seen by many as a scathing response to the Al-Nassr star.
Karim Benzema wins Ballon d’Or
And the next day, Karim Benzema did it again, this time sharing a video of himself showing off among his many sedans, in which he lets us see a watch specially designed after his Ballon d’Or victory. A million-euro jewel!
It was the Swiss watchmaker Purnell who gave her this luxury watch in October 2022. Alexia Putellas, who won the Women’s Ballon d’Or that year, also received this incredible gift, produced in only two copies.
With these two publications, did the former Lyon prodigy want to remind Cristiano Ronaldo that he, unlike Kylian Mbappé, had gleaned the ultimate individual reward for a footballer? The timing is in any case quite disturbing…
