Real Madrid talisman Karim Benzema has been crowned as Uefa's Men's Player of the Year for his ludicrous goal-scoring exploits both domestically and in Europe over the course of last season.
The Frenchman was a worthy winner of the award for multiple reasons, including his stunning 15-goal haul across last term's Champions League campaign. The forward played a vital role in Los Blancos' triumphant run that saw them go all the way to lift the trophy for a stunning 14th time.
Benzema was one of three shortlisted nominees, with Santiago Bernabeu teammate Thibaut Courtois also up for the gong as well as M anchester City superstar Kevin de Bruyne.
