Karim Benzema has confirmed he has still not received a congratulations on his Ballon d'Or win from former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.
Benzema won the coveted prize for the first time last month, becoming only the second player aside from Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to do so since 2018. Ronaldo meanwhile finished in 20th after a hit-and-miss year with Manchester United.
Speaking to French outlet Telefoot, Benzema was asked if he had been in contact with ex-Real Madrid team-mate Ronaldo since winning the award. He responded: "No, not yet." Relations between the pair are unclear although there are suggestions they are no longer the pals they once were at the Bernabeu.
