An hour and a half after his fifth personal victory in the Champions League, Saturday evening at the Stade de France, Karim Benzema gave an interview to TF1, broadcast this Sunday in Téléfoot.
"I don't realize yet.
I can only say that we are thinking little by little about this whole campaign.
Of all those I have won, it is the most difficult, ”smiles the Real Madrid striker.
For once, the ex-Lyonnais was not the most decisive in the victory against Liverpool (1-0), leaving the star to goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
“We are lucky to have the best goalkeeper in the world, congratulates Benzema.
He made exceptional saves, throughout the season and still today.
You need to have a goalkeeper who makes saves like that, which are almost goals”.

Spanish champion, winner of the C1, top scorer in the league and in Europe, Karim Benzema has reached the heights this season.
And now, the Ballon d'Or?
“I had a great season, he summarizes.
I won titles, I scored important goals.
The Ballon d'Or is a dream.
I'm not far (laughs).
I have time to think about it.
But I did better than last year.
I hope he gets closer”.
Finally, “KB9” evokes for the first time the choice of Kylian Mbappé to stay at PSG and not to join Real Madrid: “I would have liked him to be able to realize his dream of playing for Real Madrid.
Together.
He chose PSG, we must respect.
He is young, he has a lot of responsibilities.
He is a PSG player.
We will enjoy playing in the selection.
Disappointed ?
No.
Everyone makes their choices.
Real is Real.
I hope he will do good things.
We are good friends”.
