    Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema and Alexia Putellas of Barcelona win Ballon d’Or top honours

    Karim Benzema won the men’s Ballon d’Or for the first time on Monday (October 17) after a brilliant season with Real Madrid capped by the Champions League and Spanish league titles.

    Benzema had his best season ever at Madrid, being the top scorer in both leagues.

    He succeeded Lionel Messi, who won the award for a record-extending seventh time last year but was not among the nominees this time after his first season with Paris Saint-Germain.

    Benzema was not part of the France squad that triumphed at the 2018 World Cup in Russia but, barring an injury, will compete at the tournament in Qatar next month.
    “When I got injured I didn’t think I’d be here today, but it makes me proud to get recompense for all that hard work,” she said. “

    A panel of international journalists chose the winners.
