From a young age, Karim Benzema had every intention of becoming one of the best forwards. Tonight, he's been named BallonDor 2022 winner. This is the story of how a quiet kid from Lyon became one of the most devastating strikers. 📝 RoshaneSport
“When Karim Benzema started playing Champions League games for Lyon, his number was 44.
“Once, he came back to our room after a game. He was 18 and he said, ‘They’re making me play with this number, I can’t play with 44’. I said, ‘Bro, you’re playing Champions League, what are you talking about?’. He said, ‘I want to play with the No 9’. So he started giving me his No 44 shirt after games because he was determined to be a No 9. That was his favourite number.
“At the academy, we shared a room, so we’d always go down and eat breakfast together,” Mounier tells The Athletic. “When Karim started playing with the first team, I was still playing for the second team. So whenever he’d return to our room after matches, he’d always wake me up at night. “I love my sleep, but Karim didn’t care. He was excited and wanted to talk about how the game went. We’d talk and he would mention what he needs to work on for next time. That’s when I told him, ‘Bro, you will make it. You’re talented but you have the right mindset’.
