LaLiga has been quick to highlight its dominance of the Ballon d'Or after Karim Benzema claimed his first win on Monday night.
The Spanish top flight, which has taken some flack in recent years, continues to be the platform on which the world's best players choose to showcase their skills. Benzema excelled with a Real Madrid side that claimed a league and European double last season.
His individual accolade, which he was awarded in Paris, means LaLiga have now won the last 14 editions of the Ballon d'Or. That streak begun in 2009 with 12 of those wins coming courtesy of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Luka Modric won it in 2018 with Benzema adding to that list.
