We should also admit that Benzema did have a very big contribution to Real Madrid last season, whereas at first many doubted Real Madrid in the Champions League but Benzema was able to provide high achievements for Real Madrid. Therefore, Benzema deserves to win the Ballon d'Or and I think there is nothing to argue about because no other player has contributed as much as Benzema last season.
Moreover, Benzema is not young anymore but Banzema is still playing very well and indeed, Lewandowski is also old and was able to make a good contribution to Bayern Munich last season. But yes, Lewandowski cannot give more and higher titles like the Champions League to Bayern Munich so his assessment is still not enough to get him to win the Ballon d'Or.
Benzema's performance last season really stole the attention because it was thanks to the goals he always created that always made Madrid even rise from falling behind in the Champions League like when they faced PSG and City in the knockout phase.
This is clearly something that is very good for Benzema because it can be said that even though he is not young anymore, his contribution last season was really extraordinary, even if it could be said that the only thing that could hold Benzema back last season was only an injury that bothered him a bit. it doesn't exist anymore so it's a fair tribute to Benzema.
