Karim Benzema
admitted he had done all he could with Real Madrid this season to make himself
favourite for the Ballon d'Or after helping the Spanish giants beat Liverpool
1-0 in Saturday's Champions League final in Paris.
Benzema did not score in the final at the Stade de France as
Vinicius Junior netted the only goal of the game, but the Frenchman finished as
the Champions League's top scorer with 15 including 10 in the knockout rounds.
"Of course," the 34-year-old told Canal Plus when
asked if the Ballon d'Or was on his mind after a season in which he also won La
Liga with Real Madrid.
"Now I will join up with the national team but I don't
think I can do much more with my club.
"We will see what happens, but in any case, I am proud
of what I have done."
Benzema will join up with the France squad for a series of
UEFA Nations League games in June after finishing the season with 44 goals
altogether for Real.
He scored hat-tricks against Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea
in the Champions League knockout rounds and netted three times across the two
legs of the semi-final against Manchester City.
"There is no luck," he said in reference to a
series of remarkable comeback wins on their run to the final.
"You can be lucky once but not every time. We deserve
our victory. We put in the effort, we came back every time, we never gave up.
"Every player is important in our squad, whether they
are a starter or a substitute, or they don't play often but give everything in
training."
Benzema, who has now won five Champions Leagues with Real,
added that ending the season as the competition's top scorer was
"exceptional".
"But the most important thing is to win this fifth
Champions League."
The winner of the Ballon d'Or will be revealed in a ceremony
in Paris in October, before this year's World Cup in Qatar.
