How Champions League Final Could Determine Winner Of Ballon D’or – Traore
The outcome of the Champions League final could decide who wins this year’s Ballon d’Or, according to Djimi Traore, who won the 2005 tournament with Liverpool.
Real striker Karim Benzema has struck 15 goals in Europe this season.
Liverpool’s Mane was instrumental in Senegal’s first Africa Cup of Nations triumph in February and helped the Teranga Lions qualify for the 2022 World Cup, with the 30-year-old having also won two domestic cups with his club this season.
“I think Karim Benzema is in the form in his life – he’s doing fantastically,” Traore told BBC Sport Africa.
“I think the winner of the Champions League, the individual reward would be like winning the Ballon d’Or. Right now it looks like it’ll be between Benzema and Mane.”
