When asked about these words on TNT Sports BR, Karim’s face says it all. “Everyone says what they want.Β If he thinks he is the best in history… For me, for example, it is Ronaldo of Brazil.I do not like to make comparisons between players, I think everyone has their own story and he has his, he is very good,” said the Frenchman

He knows his greatness! Ronaldo only sees one player who stands ahead of him in football history

Karim also praised Vinicius. “I think these Ballon d’Or things are over, that’s it.Β For me, for everyone, he is the best. He is Real Madrid’s decisive player and always makes the difference. I’m very happy and proud of his work. I’ve already told him, hopefully one day he can win that Ballon d’Or but it’s more important that he continues like this at Madrid, doing the things he does,” Benzema concluded.
