Thierry Henry has claimed voting for the Ballon D’Or should stop now because Karim Benzema is the only possible winner.
The Real Madrid star has won the Champions League and La Liga this season - and finished top scorer in both competitions. He netted 44 goals in 45 games. The former Arsenal star, who finished second in 2003, said: “I would just say to France Football: stop the vote for the Ballon D’Or. Benzema has already won it. Bye.”
Fellow World Cup winner Bixente Lizarazu added: “You cannot do better than what he has done this season. He has been exceptional”. And Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said: "I don’t think there is a debate." Benzema, 34, is the first Frenchman to win the Champions League five times and he has now won 30 major trophies with Real Madrid (22), Lyon (7) and France.
