Zapped by Cristiano Ronaldo who chose Kylian Mbappé during an exchange with Rio Ferdinand on his YouTube channel, Karim Benzema responded cash to his former teammate at Real Madrid, with a post showing his Ballon d’Or won in 2022.
Football news has recently been marked by a remote exchange between two sports legends, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. The Portuguese striker, interviewed by his former Manchester United teammate, Rio Ferdinand, on the latter’s YouTube channel, had to choose between Kylian Mbappé, captain of the French team, and Karim Benzema, now a player for Al Ittihad. CR7 preferred the Bondynois to the former Real Madrid striker.
The discussion between Ronaldo and Ferdinand focused mainly on Mbappe’s arrival at Real Madrid this summer. Although the French world champion’s debut was considered mixed by some, Ronaldo expressed his preference for the young prodigy over Benzema, his former strike partner during their golden years in Madrid.
True to form, Karim Benzema was quick to respond, but in his own way. Rather than start a controversy, the 2022 Ballon d’Or winner posted a photo of his prestigious trophy in a kitchen on his Instagram story. A subtle but meaningful gesture, recalling his dazzling individual success during his career at the highest level.
