The striker of the "Al Ittihad" team, Karim Benzema, decided not to remain on the sidelines and engage in the discussion regarding the results of the "Ballon d'Or" voting.

The 36-year-old Frenchman stated on television:

"I spoke with Vinicius, he is sad. This is normal, as the player deserved this award."

"I have nothing against the winner Rodri; he is a good player, but when I watch the Spanish player's matches lying on the couch, he doesn't do anything impressive on the field," explained K. Benzema.

Hearing such comments, internet users were surprised and rushed to write comments on social networks.

"When you score a goal unopposed from a meter away, it's also not something beautiful," wrote one.

"Maybe Benzema expected Rodri to play like Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, even though he is a defensive midfielder?" another fan wondered.
