Jose Mourinho claims Karim Benzema is "obsessed with his team" - which is what helped him win the Ballon d'Or at the age of 34.
The Real Madrid star became the fifth Frenchman to claim the individual accolade after his sensational year in Spain. Benzema was the leading light for Los Blancos as they won LaLiga and the Champions League, with those exploits helping the forward claim the Golden Ball.
Benzema became the oldest winner of the award since Sir Stanley Matthews, the first recipient back in 1956, which underlines his journey to the top. Mourinho managed the Frenchman during his three years at the Bernabeu, when Cristiano Ronaldo was the team's main man.
