Karim Benzema Wins UEFA Player Of The Year

Published on

Karim Benzema, the captain of Real Madrid, has won the UEFA Player of the Year award.

The Frenchman took up the award ahead of Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne and teammate Thibaut Courtois.

Benzema led all scorers in the Champions League with 15 goals scored in the tournament.

The 34-year-old is also the overwhelming favourite to win the Ballon d’Or later this year.

Madrid won the LaLiga title last season, finishing 13 points ahead of Barcelona, thanks to a large impact from Benzema.

He has scored 35 goals in 37 appearances for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, as the team won four titles last season.

Today's Quote

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
