Real Madrid star forward Karim Benzema has been named the best Champions League Player of the Season.
With a 27-goal lead and breath-taking performance, Benzema led his team to the victory in the La Liga and the Champions League in the season 2021/2022.
On the mass survey on Marca.com for the best players last season, Real Madrid players dominated the survey.
The survey was conducted by 75 international experts to name the top 100 players according to their contributions to their teams throughout the season, individually and collectively.
Benzema ranked first on the list, followed by Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and their teammate VinÃcius Júnior in third place.
As for Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool star, he came in fourth place, followed by Kilian Mbappe, Luka Modric, Kevin De Bruyne, Robert Lewandowski, Virgil van Dijk, and Sadio Mane, then Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland, in order.
Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo ranked 21st on the list, while Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi came 26th after his modest season with the French club.
Neymar came in 57th place on the list, and the star Ashraf Hakimi appeared in 67th place, and his Moroccan compatriot Yassine Bounou ranked 80th, with the absence of Algerian star Riyad Mahrez from the list.
This nomination gives Benzema the push to get closer to his dream of winning the Ballon d’Or, the winner of which will be determined according to his performance last season, not the calendar year.
