Thibaut Courtois has stated his belief that Karim Benzema should win the Ballon d’Or this season after the striker scored a hat-trick to spark Real Madrid ’s comeback win over Paris Saint-Germain.
Los Blancos hosted the Ligue 1 table toppers in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 clash on Wednesday, needing to turn around a one-goal deficit.
Madrid struggled at first, with Kylian Mbappe doubling the visitors’ lead on aggregate when he set racing clear by a beautiful pass from Neymar before firing past Courtois at his near-post.
