Ex-France international, Mathieu Valbuena has come out to congratulate Ballon d’Or winner, Karim Benzema. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, despite the Real Madrid man previously being found guilty of blackmailing him, he is happy with his recent Ballon d’Or award because he deserves it.
Valbuena added that playing for Real Madrid for several years and performing well is no small feat.
His words, “I’m happy for him, he deserves it. In life, you have to be honest. I have always known how to differentiate between football and outside of football. He had an extraordinary season. When you have been playing in a club like Real Madrid for so many years and you are performing well, it would not be objective of me to say that he does not deserve it.”
