<p><strong>Lionel Messi on the other hand, if he in fact does win the award, had 41 goals and won the Copa America with Argentina defeating Brazil in the process in the final.</strong> Benzema who is set to finish second had the same number of goals as Messi and won the UEFA Nations League.</p>
<p>Cristiano Ronaldo, who had a disappointing season with Juventus scored more goals than Messi and Benzema but only won the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana and is not even considered to finish within the top 5.</p>
<p><strong>Kylian Mbappe had a better all-around season than most scoring 45 goals and had 22 assists winning three titles along the way.</strong> Italian reporter Matte Moreno also let it be known that the award is going to the Argentine stating, <strong><em>“Messi, his friends already know.”</em></strong> </p>

<p><strong>Karim Benzema was ordered to pay 75,000 euros ($84,000), and his one-year- jail sentence is suspended for his involvement in the blackmailing of Mathieu Valbuena.</strong> Benzema himself, along with the other codefendants, was not present for much of the trial or verdict.</p>
<p><strong>Benzema’s legal team said they would appeal the decision; </strong>the French striker has professed his innocence throughout the whole ordeal.

<p>The French soccer federation had stated that if found guilty Benzema would not lose his standing on the national team.Benzema also should have no issues in being on the voting ballot for the 2021 Ballon d’Or.</p>

<p>Following a pandemic-shortened season in which the awardwas not given, it’s understandable that the soccer community can’t wait for the <strong>2021 Ballon d’Or</strong> results. In fact, there has been <strong>a lot of hype on the Internet lately</strong>.</p>
<p>Not long ago, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/list-of-2021-ballon-dor-results-leaks-out-with-lewandowski-ahead-of-messi-ronaldo-20211027-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a leak went viral on social media</a> suggesting that<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bayern-munich-t112" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bayern Munich</strong></a> striker <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/robert-lewandowski-t137625" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Robert Lewandowski</strong></a> had gathered the most votes over the likes of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lionel-messi-t13" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lionel Messi</strong></a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/cristiano-ronaldo-t2" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo</strong></a>. However, another leak shortly after that had the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/psg-t16721" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>PSG</strong></a> star atop the list.</p>
<p>The Ballon d’Or gossip continued when Portuguese outlet <em>RTP</em> went even further by claiming that Messi <strong>had been told by France Football</strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/2021-ballon-dor-lionel-messi-has-reportedly-been-told-by-france-football-hes-the-winner-20211105-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he would receive his seventh Golden Ball</a>, an ideathat didn’t please <strong>Patrice Evra</strong>.</p>

<h2>Patrice Evra firesshot at Lionel Messi over 2021 Ballon d’Or, claims N’Golo Kante deserves it more</h2>
<p>For a long time, the Ballon d’Or battle seemed to be reduced to Messi and Ronaldo. But, over the last few years things have changed, <strong>with new names making their way</strong> into the best player of the year conversation.</p>
<p>Everyone in world soccer weighs in on this matter, and recently it was the turn for Patrice Evra. The French legend admitted to<em>Journal du Dimanche</em>that he’s tired ofseeing Messi winthe Ballon d’Or and that he doesn’t deserve it this year.<em>“In my opinion, this Ballon d’Or is <strong>for N’Golo Kante or Jorginho, they deserve it!</strong> I don’t understand why people say: ‘He’s just a midfielder.’ They have woneverything,”</em> he said.<span></span></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Evra added that if any of them doesn’t receive the award, <strong>it would be unfair</strong>. <em>“What did he(Messi)won this year? Right, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/copa-america-t25985" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Copa America</strong></a>. But what did he accomplishwith <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Barcelona</strong></a>?”</em> the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/france-t146618" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>France</strong></a> internationalcontinued.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/arsenal-t418" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Arsenal</strong></a> legend <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/premier-league-top-goalscorers-ever-20201101-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Thierry Henry</strong></a> has also spoken about this subject. While he wasn’t as harsh on Messi as Evra, the iconic striker believes <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/real-madrid-t23" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Real Madrid</strong></a> forward <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/olivier-giroud-believes-karim-benzemas-return-to-france-has-created-a-imbalance-20211109-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Karim Benzema</strong></a> <strong>has given reasons to win the prize</strong>.<span></span></p>

<p><em>“<strong>Let’s be realistic, I hopeit willbe him</strong>, Benzema. Lewandowski <strong>would have been chosen in 2020</strong> if the award hadn’t been canceled. We can also talk about Jorginho because he won it all. And there’s Messi, who conqueredthe Copa America,” </em>Henry said, as quoted by <em>As</em>.</p>
<p>As the ceremony was canceled last year, it’s normal that the expectations areeven higher now. Whether Messi will get his seventh Ballon d’Or or it will be the turn for another player is something that remains to be seen. <strong>We’ll know on November 29</strong> if any of the previous leaks were correct.<span></span></p>

<p><strong><em>“It was [Didier] Deschamps’ will. I understand it, but I would have liked to have been warned sooner… I have nothing against Karim, but his return to the national team created a tactical imbalance in our way of playing. It was something evident in some games, which luckily could be fixed quickly, as could be seen in the Nations League. However, it took time. I had no problems with Karim at the European Championship. He has changed and evolved. We ate every day at the same table.”</em></strong></p>
<p>Since Benzema’s return Giroud has played 5 games with the French national team and scored 2 goals in 2021. In the same interview Giroud discussed his club teammate striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, <em>“I told him that if I didn’t think I could play with him, I would not be there. Ibra never scared me. It is also an opportunity to evolve by his side, to continue learning by someone of such quality. His charisma, his presence in the dressing room and his leadership on the pitch are above all else. When I signed, he said that I was a good rookie, but that he was the only king in Milan.”</em></p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/karim-benzema-t195742" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Karim Benzema</strong></a> has had to deal with the accusations since 2015, and at one point it cost him his spot on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/france-t146618" target="_blank" rel="noopener">French national team</a>. Now the blackmailing scandal between Benzema, Mathieu Valbuena, Mustapha Zouaoui, and others is set to come to a close on Friday as a judge will issue the verdict in the sex tape scandal that rocked French soccer.</p>
<p><strong>In 2015, Mathieu Valbuena asked a man in Marseille, Axel Angot, to transfer all contents of his phone to a new one, Angot found an explicit video of Valbuena. </strong>Later Valbuena accuses Angot and Mustapha Zouaoui of trying to blackmail him by making the contents of the tape public.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>When Karim Benzema approached Valbuena regarding the sex tape, the police by then had been recording the conversations with the parties involved and Benzema was recorded as saying <em>“He’s not taking us seriously.”,</em> to which Zenati responded: <em>“We’re here to sort it out; if he doesn’t want that he’ll have to deal with the piranhas.”</em></p>
<p><strong>If Benzema is found guilty, he could face five years in jail and a €75,000 fine.</strong> It will most likely mark the end of his career, and tarnish what has been a remarkable playing career. Benzema has always professed his innocence, and his lawyers have stated the Real Madrid forward does not have direct involvement in the case.</p>
<p><strong>Mathieu Valbuena never again played for the French national team </strong>following the incident and Benzema had only recently returned to the team. </p>

His almost six-year absence had nothing to do with his work on the pitch.</p>
<p>He has been sidelined due to acontroversial episode that took part a few months before the Euro 2016. <strong>Benzemawas accused of putting pressure on Mathieu Valbuena to pay blackmailers</strong> who threatened him with releasing an intimate tape. In October, the playerwill face trial on the charge of conspiracy to attempt blackmail, which hehas firmly denied.</p>
<p><strong>That didn’t prevent him to keep on dazzling in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/la-liga-t48" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Liga</a></strong>. His form has been even more impressive since<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/cristiano-ronaldo-t2" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo</strong></a>‘s departure, as the Frenchman filled in his shoes in great fashion and <strong>began to carry the team almost all by himself</strong>. Finally, after consistently performing at his best, he is set to lead France’s attack again.</p>

<p>It’s been a long time since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/france-schedule-in-2021-20210125-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">France</a> have last seen one of their most talented players feature with their colors. A key piece for Deschamps’ first years at the helm, <strong>Karim Benzema last played with Les Bleus on October 8, 2015</strong>, in a comfortable 4-0 win over <strong>Armenia</strong> in which he scored a brace.</p>
<p>The striker, however, has been on the eye of the storm after the sex tape scandal was all over the news and has been <strong>left out of high-profile events such as Euro 2016 that was held in France and the 2018 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar-2022-t77804" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Cup</a></strong>. France still went on to reach the European Championship finaland then tasted glory in Russia without Benzema, but his performances with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/transfer-news-rumors-manchester-united-ready-to-make-bid-for-real-madrid-defender-20210514-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a> kept being outstanding.</p>
<p>Many years later, as he still proves to be in great form despite his 33 years of age, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/la-liga-top-goalscorers-ever-20201109-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Merengues’ fascinating goalscorer</a> is about to join Deschamps once again, <strong>even though there has been some tension between them</strong> over the last years.</p>

The opportunity of naming 26 players instead of 23 gave Deschamps more room to consider the striker’s return, as he wouldn’t have to leave out any member of the world champion squad.</p>
<p>Almost six years later, with a European Championship, a World Cup, and a pandemic in between, <strong>a 33-year-old Karim Benzema will have another shot at the French national team</strong> ahead of an exciting Euro 2020. Will he help Les Bleus to claim the trophy in his long-awaited return to the team?</p>

Real Madrid: Who are the all-time top goalscorers? - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/real-madrid-t23" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Real Marid’s</strong></a> young forward <strong>Vinicius Jr </strong>has drawn some mixed reviews during his first couple of seasons for <em>Los Blancos. </em>He clearly cares a lot and puts in a lot of effort but more often than not, his dribbles, take-ons, and drives are futile.</p>
<p>Vinicius’ ineffectiveness was at full display during Real Madrid’s 2-2 tie with <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/borussia-monchengladbach-t113" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Borussia Monchengladbach</strong></a> for the <strong>2020-21 <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/champions-league-t24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA Champions League</a></strong>. <strong>He couldn’t finish plays </strong>and looked lost in the attack from time to time.</p>
<p>That’s why some fans urged<strong> Zinedine Zidane </strong>to take him out of the game and replace him with <strong>Luka Jovic, Rodrygo, Eden Hazard, </strong>or pretty much any other player, as he was hurting his team’s chances to come back from a 0-1 deficit.</p>

<p>However, you’d never expect one of his own teammates to bash him right in the middle of the game, but <strong>Karim Benzema went as far as to tell Ferland Mendy not to pass him the ball</strong> in the <strong>second half.</strong></p>

<p><em><strong>“Don’t give him the ball. On my mother’s life,he’s playing against us,” </strong></em>Benzema told in clear french to his compatriot, right in front of <strong>Thibaut Courtois, </strong>who also speaks french. Clearly, he’s not a fan of the Brazilian’s game.</p>

<p>The strategy seemed to work, though, <strong>as Real Madrid scored a couple of late-game goals to tie the game at 2</strong>, 17 minutes after Eden Hazard finally replaced the struggling Brazilian forward.</p>

<p>Thus far, the 20-year-old has scored<strong> just 12 goals in 87 appearances for <em>Los Blancos</em>,</strong> yet he continues to get a lot of confidence and playing time from Zidane. Obviously, growing pains are to be expected from young players at that level, but you wonder how many more opportunities Vinicius will get going forward with Rodrygo and Hazard at full strength.</p>
