Madrid's "Real" forward Karim Benzema reigned in this year's "Golden Ball" awards.

It is reported that representatives of only four countries did not award the sniper with first place.

One of these countries is Egypt, which traditionally put forward Mohamed Salah as their top pick.

Liverpool's leader was also awarded first place by the Netherlands, while the Slovenians chose "Man City" representative Kevin De Bruyne.

Meanwhile, Senegal also decided to support their compatriot and gave the most points to forward Sadio Mane.

Despite the decisions of these countries, K. Benzema confidently triumphed in the "Golden Ball" awards (549 points) and significantly exceeded S. Mane (193 points).
