Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is confident Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema will win the Ballon d’Or in the coming days.

The French forward finished last season with 44 goals and 15 assists in just 46 games, a testament to his creative abilities as well as his supreme finishing.

In spite of important contributions from Vinicius Junior, Luka Modric and Thibaut Courtois, there is little doubt as to who shone the brightest.

Perez said at Real Madrid’s General Assembly: “Benzema has already received the prize of the best player of the year from UEFA and in the coming days, he will be awarded with the Ballon d’Or. Nobody doubts it.”
