Karim Benzema apparently still hasn’t come to terms with Lionel Messi winning FIFA’s The Best award

The FIFA Awards are over and for many viewers it ended up being a big surprise in many ways. One such person is Karim Benzema, who shared his frustration on social media.

The French striker has had an amazing 2022, which he capped off by rejoicing in winning the Ballon d’Or. No wonder Karim Benzema was eyeing other prestigious individual awards as well.

However, the FIFA The Best awards were dominated by Lionel Messi, and the Real Madrid striker is taking it very hard.

Already on the day of the announcement and seconds after Messi’s win, he uploaded a cryptic video to his Instagram story in which an unknown person says “Liar. Yes. You are a liar.“

Days after the awards, it seems the striker is still not reconciled with the results and has posted another reminder to the world of who he thinks should have won the award.

He expressed his frustration most recently by sharing a snippet of a post to his Instagram story listing all the awards, trophies and achievements he could have enjoyed in the previous year.

He then accompanied the post with another photo of Benzema himself smiling and writing “Good night” at the bottom of the photo.

It will be interesting to see if the results of this award can have a negative impact on the mood in the Real Madrid cabin.

Immediately after the results and how the national team captains voted were announced, the fact that David Alaba preferred Lionel Messi to Karim Benzema in his vote caused a stir among the White Ballet fans.

The Austrian footballer defended himself by saying that it was a decision of the entire national team. Benzema has been criticised for his activity on social media. Football supporters are of the opinion that a professional of his calibre should definitely react better to the situation.
