In a quick response, Frenchman Karim Benzema, star of the Saudi Federation of Jeddah, expressed his position after the statements of Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, player of the Al-Nasr club, in which he expressed his preference for French star Kylian Mbappe over his former teammate at Real Madrid.
Ronaldo’s comments have raised questions about the relationship between the two stars, especially after years of playing together at the Spanish club.

Ronaldo is making headlines again, but this time not because of his exploits on the football pitch, but rather because of the exciting statements he made during an interview with his former Manchester United teammate Rio Ferdinand’s YouTube channel.

The discussion sparked widespread controversy, especially after Cristiano Ronaldo was asked to choose between his former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema and young French star Kylian Mbappe. The Portuguese star did not hesitate and chose Mbappé, despite the glorious years he spent alongside the “government” at the Royal Club.

This was not the only controversial choice during the interview; Cristiano Ronaldo also ruled out big names such as Toni Kroos and Xabi Alonso, preferring Welshman Ryan Giggs, and David Beckham was preferred to Argentinian Angel Di Maria. These options opened the door to debate and sparked great interactions between the public and the media.

Karim Benzema was quick to respond to Ronaldo’s statements, and chose an unconventional way to express his position. He posted on his Instagram account a photo showing the “Ballon d’Or” award he won in 2022, unexpectedly placing it on the kitchen surface, as if it were a simple tool.

According to the Spanish newspaper “AS”, this photo was a metaphor for his response to Ronaldo and recalled that Benzema had won the Ballon d’Or after an exceptional season with Real Madrid, while Mbappé had not yet obtained the Ballon d’Or. this award.

Amidst these discussions, it has become clear that the statements and personal preferences of the biggest football stars do not go without reactions, whether they are humorous in nature, as Karim Benzema did, or analyzed more in depth by fans and the media.
