Alaba stabs Benzema in the back
Argentine Lionel Messi won The Best FIFA World Player award for 2022 after leading his country to crown the World Cup, which was held in Qatar for the third time in the history of tango.
Lionel Messi took first place, followed by Kylian Mbappe, then Karim Benzema in third place. The Real Madrid striker won the last Golden Ball award after he presented an exceptional season during which he crowned the Champions League after an exceptional performance throughout Real Madrid’s career in the tournament.
The test for the winner of The Best award comes through the votes of the captains and coaches of the national teams that are members of FIFA, including, for example, Real Madrid players: Luka Modric (Croatia), Eden Hazard (Belgium) and David Alaba (Austria).
Luka Modric, captain of the Croatian national team, voted for Karim Benzema in first place, then Lionel Messi, followed by Kylian Mbappe, while the vote of the captain of the Belgium national team was not on the list announced by FIFA after the end of the ceremony.
David Alaba, captain of the Austrian national team, voted strangely, as he voted for Lionel Messi in first place, followed by Karim Benzema and then Kylian Mbappe. Putting his colleague, team captain and the most prominent player in Real Madrid’s Champions League crown last season, in second place is surprising.
After the spread of the voting list announced by FIFA, David Alaba faced a barrage of criticism from Real Madrid fans for his choices and betrayal of his captain and teammate in the Whites.
