Last Monday, FIFA held a ceremony to award the best players in the world. However, due to the absence of Vini Jr. in the list of nominees, the members of the Real Madrid competing, Courtois, Benzema and Módric, did not show up.
However, the criticisms of the athletes of the Spanish team do not end there. On his social networks, the French striker pinned the organization of the event. First, he shared a photo of one of his followers on Instagram, in which he appears alongside the Brazilian striker. In the post, the fan calls the duo The Beats (the beasts), which, in addition to praising both, can be considered a pinprick for being similar to the name of the award, The Best.

Subsequently, Benzema referred to his numbers from August 2021 to December 2022, an evaluation period that the judges (players, coaches, journalists and public) must consider when voting. There were 63 goals and 21 assists, helping to win the Champions League, Spanish Championship, King’s Cup, Nations League, Spanish Super Cup and King’s Cup titles.
At the awards, the French striker was among the top three, along with Lionel Messi and Mbappé, but was surpassed by the Argentine. To include the World Cup, FIFA added the first part of 2022/23 to last season.
With the change, the Fifa ceremony was dominated by the Argentine national team, which became three-time world champion in Qatar. In addition to Messi, Scaloni (best coach) and Emiliano Martínez (best goalkeeper) won the award. Which ended up harming Benzema, elected best in the world by the French newspaper (Golden Ball).
