Frenchman in sublime form for Real Madrid.

Karim Benzema is a generational talent, one who has shown his capabilities multiple times as a formidable striker. But it has been felt by many that his talents weren’t put to their fullest use. He missed a lot of his international career due to unprecedented scandals. With his suspension over he resumed his time as a France footballer.

With an outstanding performance in the last Euro cup he has shown France exactly what they were missing. Now to talk about the other side of the coin, his club career. With both Ronaldo and bale both gone all eyes were on Benzema and boy did he deliver. The Frenchman has started this season on fire and is arguably the best — and most in form — striker in the world right now.

Over the course of three games in September, Benzema scored six goals (three against Celta, one against Valencia, and two against Mallorca). That brings his tally to nine goals on the season, in a campaign where’s also already provided seven assists. Real Madrid have lent their public support to star forward Karim Benzema to win the 2021 Ballon d’Or. Benzema is among the 30 nominees for the men’s Ballon d’Or award which will be announced in a ceremony on November 29.

The Frenchman has had a tremendous year leading up to his nomination on this year’s Ballon d’Or shortlist. Benzema enjoyed a brilliant 2020-21 campaign, scoring 30 goals and assisting nine in 46 games across all competitions for Real Madrid. He followed it up by scoring four goals in as many games for France at Euro 2020.

While Karim Benzema has certainly had a tremendous year, the Real Madrid forward will face some stiff competition in his bid to win the Ballon d’Or this year. The likes of Lionel Messi, Jorginho and Robert Lewandowski remain frontrunners for the award. Messi encountered a sub-par 2020-21 campaign with Barcelona as the Catalans could only secure the Copa del Rey. However, he was brilliant individually, recording 38 goals and 14 assists for the Blaugrana in 47 matches.

Even though there is a high mountain to scale, the Los Blancos striker looks very much capable to do the deed and complete the job. He looks very in tune with his entire team and seems to make no wrong calls when in front of the goal. He is also displaying immaculate vision with clinical assists coming in abundance.

With the World cup just around the corner I’m sure all French fans want this form to continue.
