PARIS : Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema won the Ballon d'Or award for the best player in the world on Monday, beating Robert Lewandowski, Sadio Mane and Kevin De Bruyne to the top prize.

This year's Ballon d'Or winner has reportedly been leaked by the Spanish media, with Marca claiming that Karim Benzema will receive his first Golden Ball. It is claimed that Benzema will become only the second player aside from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to win the award since 2008, after team-mate Luka Modric scooped the prize in 2018.
The Ballon d'Or ceremony to honour the best footballers for the 2021-22 season will be held in Paris on Monday and it needs to be seen who takes away the top accolade. Real Madrid and France star Karim Benzema is among the favourites to take the top prize. Benzema had helped Real Madrid win La Liga and Champions League, scoring 42 goals in the entire season. In the Champions League, he had also recorded hat-tricks against Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain in the knockout stages. Lionel Messi - who has won a record seven Ballon D'Or trophies, doesn't feature in the list of nominees for the first time since 2005.
Carlo Ancelotti said he hopes to see Karim Benzema pick up the 2022 Ballon d’Or and that his Real Madrid team-mates should take a share of the credit if the striker claims the prestigious award. The France international is the hot favourite to win the annual prize at Monday’s ceremony after firing his club to a La Liga and Champions League double last season. Ad Benzema has struggled for fitness and form at the start of 2022/23, but scored in Sunday’s 3-1 Clasico win over Barcelona to send Real top and earn plaudits from his manager.
Reigning champions Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3-1 in the Clasico to overtake their fierce rivals at the top of La Liga on Sunday. Karim Benzema opened the scoring in the 12th minute by converting a rebound after Marc-Andre ter Stegen saved from Vinicius Junior, with Fede Valverde drilling home the second from the edge of the box before the break. Ferran Torres pulled one back for Barcelona in the final stages after good work by Ansu Fati, but Rodrygo won and converted a late penalty to ensure Carlo Ancelotti's side inflicted Barcelona's first domestic defeat of the season.
