Compare Benzema – Messi – CR7 at the age of 34 | Who is better?

Recently, Benzema had another explosive performance against Chelsea that brought him into the legendary temple of the Champions League. The former Lyon star became the fourth player in the tournament’s history to score a hat-trick in two consecutive knockout matches.

If compared at the age of 34, Benzema is even more prominent than the two living legends of world football, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Specifically with Lionel Messi, who was also born in 1987 like Benzema, so far he has only had 8 goals and 11 assists after 27 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain. Meanwhile, Benzema has just reached the milestone of 37 goals and 13 assists after 36 appearances with Real Madrid.

As for Cristiano Ronaldo, at the age of 34, the Portuguese superstar has 28 goals and 11 assists after 43 appearances for Juventus in the 2018/2019 season.

Before Benzema’s impressive performance, former Rio Ferdinand even confidently advised the organizers of the World Golden Ball to start carving the French striker’s name on the award right now.

Although it is still a bit early, Rio Ferdinand’s comments are not unreasonable. With the season not over yet, Karim Benzema can completely improve his performance to get closer to his first Ballon d’Or title.
