The award was taken by Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema beating other three other favourites, namely, Kylian Mbappe, Robert Lewandowski and Sadio Mane. Spanish according to a news report fist leaked by Marca.

In 1991, Jean Pierre-Papin claimed the Ballon D’or, while former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane won it in 1998. Apart from that, Benzema is the second player to end Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi’s dominance in the award.

In 2007 after Kaka’s triumph, Luka Modric first broke the monopoly of Ronaldo and Lionel Messi after he was voted the World’s best male player in 2018.

Benzema’s Real Madrid teammate Thibaut Courtois is set to be named the winner of the Yashin Trophy. The award is given each year to the World’s best goalkeeper.

Like Benzema, Courtois, 30, played an integral role in Madrid’s Champions League triumph last season. There is also a Barcelona success story, with one of their most promising youngsters being awarded the Kopa Trophy for the best young player.

Midfielder Gavi will scoop the gong, having starred for Barca and Spain aged just 18.
