Deschamps backs Karim Benzema to win the Ballon d'Or
Benzema is one of the main chances to win the Ballon d'Or with his stunning performances over the past year, but he has tough competitors.
Lionel Messi
is again favourite for winning the award because he was the top scorer in La Liga last season with Barcelona and won the Copa América with Argentina. Meanwhile,
Robert Lewandowski
won the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich, scoring more than 40 goals.
“
The Balon d’Or is a very important and prestigious individual award
,” Deschamps said in a France press conference.
“Karim is a one of the aspirants at this moment and he is obviously a very serious candidate to win it.
“I don’t just say it because I’m his coach, I hope he wins it for all he achieved for the season he achieved with his club and the French national team”
