Why Benzema Deserves The Praise!

The 2022 Ballon D'Or ceremony was recently held by the France Football federation and for the first time in the history of the award, the criteria looked slightly different. In the past, the players were judged during the European Seasons, however this time round, the calendar year was the time period. No one deserved the golden ball more than Real Madrid talisman Karim Benzema: The Frenchman had close to 60 goal contributions during 2021, a UEFA Champions League trophy, La Liga, and the Spanish cup too. Benzema has been waiting patiently in the shadows and now it is his turn to bask in the glory

Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is once again in the tabloids after he was seen walking down the tunnel 4 minutes before the final whistle during the Red Devils' 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspurs. Another player who just can't seem to control his attitude is Kylian Mbappe. The 23-year-old claims he was lied to by the PSG board after he was told a world-class number 9 would be signed, never mind that he has Neymar and Messi up front with him.

On the latest episode of the International News Desk, Sean Roberts asks questions about Cristiano Ronaldo's attitiude and Mbappe's tantrums. Karim Benzema gets the praise he deserves, and is Manchester United on the right path?
