The Ballon d’Or ceremony for this year’s award takes place on Monday in Paris.
Robert Lewandowski, a striker for Barcelona, has picked Karim Benzema of Real Madrid as his favourite to win the 2022 Ballon d’Or award.
Benzema has enjoyed a sensational year, having spearheaded Los Blancos’ victorious campaigns in LaLiga and the Champions League.
Throughout the year, the 34-year-old scored 29 goals in all competitions for Real.
Ahead of the award ceremony, Lewandowski told Vamos, “The Ballon d’Or is likely to be won by Benzema… if they don’t cancel it.”
Lewandowski will go head-to-head with Benzema in Sunday’s El Clasico, to be played at the Santiago Bernabeu.
