Karim Benzema shows off incredible Ballon d’Or watch after responding to Ronaldo snub as he’s tipped for career change

KARIM BENZEMA showed off an incredible Ballon d’Or watch after responding to Cristiano Ronaldo’s claim Kylian Mbappe is better than him.

Real Madrid legend Benzema, 36, scored 354 goals in 648 appearances across a 14-year career for the Spanish giants.

He joined Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad last year, less than 12 months after capping a sensational season by winning the Ballon d’Or.

Yet his near decade-long partnership with Ronaldo at Real Madrid did not stop the Portugal forward from picking Mbappe ahead of Benzema in a recent YouTube video.

Benzema responded by sharing a photo of the Ballon d’Or trophy on his Instagram story.

Now he has posted a on social media of him walking around a number of flash supercars.

Alongside the clip, he posted the short caption: “Daddy 🇩🇿.”

It is cut with footage of him training on the pitch and in the gym, but it is his watch that is the most eye-catching image.

It includes a golden ball engraved into it which is in honour of him being a Ballon d’Or winner.

Meanwhile, his acting in the video, which sees him smouldering at the camera, was praised by fans.

One social media user tipped him to become an actor after he hangs up his boots, saying: “Big Benz could really cut it as an actor when he retires from football.”

While another added: “It doesn’t get any colder I’m afraid.”

A third replied: “Best video I’ve seen in a while.”

And a fourth responded: “Benzema is unmatched.”

Benzema, who returned to Real Madrid for rehab on an injury in the summer, has started both of Al-Ittihad’s Saudi Pro League games at the start of the new season, scoring one goal.

His side sit third in the table with maximum points, behind pace setters Al-Hilal on goal difference.
