Cristiano Ronaldo, the Manchester United star, decided to support his former colleague, Karim Benzema, the Real Madrid striker, in the Ballon d’Or race
The ceremony will be held next Monday, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, and Benzema is the most nominated name for the award
According to the French newspaper, Le Parisien, Ronaldo will travel to Paris in order to attend the ceremony, and support his friend while receiving the award
Ronaldo was skipping attendance at the 2018, 2019 and 2021 editions, once it became clear that he would not receive the award
On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe is reluctant to attend the party, although his relationship with Benzema is not in doubt
Mbappe’s hesitation is due to the possibility of his absence from the top five places in the award, which does not please the French star
