Ange Postecoglou vows Celtic are no Champions League tourists as he tips Karim Benzema for the Ballon D’Or

dailyrecord.co.uk

Facing Europe’s top team in the Champions League is a hard enough task. But when Celtic take on Real Madrid at Parkhead in their Group F opener, Ange Postecoglou reckons they might just be facing the world’s best player too.

Karim Benzema was Los Blancos’ talisman last season as Carlo Ancelotti’s side claimed the trophy for a 14th time. Hoops defenders Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt will have to shackle Special K if Celtic are to defy the odds.

French superstar Benzema is bookies’ favourite to win the Ballon D’Or, ahead of the likes of Mo Salah, Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski.

Celtic gaffer Ange is full of praise for the way that Ancelotti’s side became European champions in May after seeing off PSG, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool along the way.

Real Madrid To 'Boycott' Ballon d'Or Ceremony, Say "Does Not Respect..."
Real Madrid said they will stay away from the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris on Monday as they are convinced that their striker Vinicius, the favourite to win the men's award, has been snubbed. The club told AFP it questioned the methods behind the selection of the Ballon d'Or winner, saying that defender Dani Carvajal, another of the 30 players nominated, had also been unfairly overlooked.  "If the award criteria doesn't give it to Vinicius as the winner, then those same criteria should point to Carvajal as the winner," the club told AFP.  "As this was not the case, it is clear that Ballon d'Or-UEFA does not respect Real Madrid. And Real Madrid does not go where it is not respected."
