Benzema is the oldest player to win the trophy since Sir Stanley Matthews in 1956, who was almost 42 when he won.
Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has won the men's Ballon d'Or for 2022.
Benzema was crowned in a ceremony in Paris ahead of Sadio Mane in second and Kevin De Bruyne in third - with the striker becoming the first French winner of the Ballon D'Or since Zinedine Zidane - who presented him the award - in 1998. "It makes me really proud," said Benzema."All the work I did, I never gave up. It was a childhood dream like all kids [have]. I had two motivations in my life - Zidane and Ronaldo. I've always had this dream in my mind that anything is possible.
