Karim Benzema’s Instagram activity during The Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony on Monday night where Messi won, has raised many questions among fans.
Lionel Messi won the Best FIFA Men’s Player award at the showcase event, defeating French duo Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema, following a remarkable 2022 that featured his first World Cup victory.
The Argentinean accepted his second FIFA Men’s Player award on stage in Paris and gushed, “It’s amazing. It’s an honour for me to be here tonight and win this award.
“Without my team-mates I wouldn’t be here. It was an amazing year and I achieved the dream that I’ve been hoping for so long and finally, I managed to achieve it.”
In the moments after Messi’s speech, plenty of people came to the conclusion that Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema was far from happy with the decision.
Benzema, who didn’t attend the ceremony on Monday night, posted a video to his Instagram story that says: “Liar, yes, you liar.”
