McManaman Shows Madrid Ballon d'Or Support
Hold up, who's gonna win the Ballon d'Or? That's the question on everyone's lips right now, especially with the big names in the running. And it looks like Steve McManaman is throwing his weight behind one of the Real Madrid boys.
The former Real Madrid star has been talking up Karim Benzema's chances of snagging the prestigious award. And who can blame him? Benzema had a monster season at the Bernabéu, banging in goals left, right, and center. He single-handedly carried Real Madrid to glory in La Liga and the Champions League.
McManaman knows a thing or two about winning trophies, so his backing of Benzema is no small feat. He's seen it all, man. He knows what it takes to reach the top and Benzema has got that winning mentality. McManaman thinks Benzema deserves the recognition for his performances this past season, and frankly, we can't disagree. He's on fire and absolutely killing it.
Of course, Benzema isn't the only player in the running. There's Messi, Lewandowski, Salah, Mbappé... the list goes on and on. But for McManaman, Benzema is the clear favourite.
So, what does McManaman's support mean for Benzema? Well, it's huge, to be honest. He's got the backing of a legend, someone who knows the game better than most. It's a big vote of confidence that could push Benzema over the edge and help him win the award.
Will Benzema take home the Ballon d'Or? We'll have to wait and see. But one thing's for sure: he's definitely got the support of a Real Madrid legend. And that's got to count for something, right?
