Karim Benzema was deservedly named Uefa’s men’s Player of the Year award on Thursday evening. Watch as we take a look back at his 2021/22 season.

For Karim Benzema, the Uefa men’s player of the year prize is unlikely to be the last recognition he receives for his role in Real Madrid’s memorable run to Champions League glory last season.

The Ballon d’Or will surely follow in October, before he heads to the World Cup in Qatar with France in November and December with the aim of completing a truly remarkable career renaissance.
