Karim Benzema
Last night in Paris, Karim Benzema was named the Ballon d’Or winner. Well-deserved and not surprising after his outstanding 2021–22 season. His outstanding performance last season and triumph last night are being recognized by adidas with a golden collection befitting the Golden Ball winner.
Adidas has also developed a breathtaking short film called Hand of Gold in addition to the limited collection and in recognition of the player’s historic accomplishment.
The movie vividly illustrates the idea that anything Benzema touches on the field turns to gold. In 2019, the player was especially plagued by a string of hand ailments, forcing him to play every game with a bandage on his hand. The movie celebrates the motivational tale of a little boy from Bron, France, who rose to the top of world football by turning the white bandage into gold.
In honor of Karim Benzema’s 40+ goals last season, the limited-edition Real Madrid jersey has gold lettering, an extra-special number 9 (also in gold), and numerous portraits of Benzema. You can access commemorative digital content by scanning the unique Benzema number equipped with Smart Scan technology.

“I’m really proud seeing this prize, it’s been my dream since I was a kid. I grew up with this in my head, and after that I had the motivation,” Benzema stated.
“I had two role models in my life: Zinedine Zidane and Brazil legend Ronaldo. It’s a lot of work, I never gave up and I kept that dream in my head. Anything is possible.
“It’s been difficult for me. There was a time when I wasn’t playing for the national team, but I didn’t give up. It’s been difficult for me and that just makes me stronger mentally. I’m really happy with my work.”
