Why?
.
because right now i don't think there's a better CF in the world
and he's been doing it for ever, at a club where expectations probably are the highest in club's football
i'm not saying that he'll win it as Madrid didn't win anything last season and France's Euros wasn't great (yet, Benzema's personal Euros was good, 4 goals)...mind you the Nations League actually is a trophy, all teams who took part in it played their best available XIs and took it very seriously.... but i feel he's one of those who deserve a Ballon d'Or for their entire career
