The Ballon d’Or presentation ceremony has already become an almost routine affair in the Santiago Bernabéu in the last decade. After Cristiano Ronaldo (4 times) and Luka Modric (1 win), showcased the most prestigious award in front of Real Madrid fans, this time it was Karim Benzema, who has been playing for Real since 2009, and finally won the great honor.
Tonight, the striker who won the title after a dream season in which he led Real Madrid to the championship and winning the Champions League, presented the title in front of the Blancos fans, before the game against Sevilla in which he is not playing due to injury. Thibaut Courtois presented the Lev Yashin Award, which is awarded to the goalkeeper of the year in the world. Before the start of the game, all the players of the team took pictures with the two big winners, when their former coach Zinedine Zidane and former goalkeeper X Casillas were also honored with their presence.
