Benzema pulls no punches on Dembélé! | OneFootball

Karim Benzema, former Real Madrid star, praised the season of Ousmane Dembélé (28 years old), who delivered an exceptional performance with Paris Saint-Germain. In an interview with L’Equipe, the 2022 Ballon d’Or winner believes that the French winger is "under-publicized" despite a level of play that, according to him, is unprecedented.

Benzema "We don't talk about him enough, in my opinion"

Benzema "I really like this player"

Karim Benzema's words resonate like a clarification: Ousmane Dembélé, often analyzed through his past injuries or his inconsistency at Barcelona, has completely changed dimensions since his arrival at Paris Saint-Germain. The 27-year-old winger has exploded with a volume of play, responsibilities, and creativity rarely achieved by a player of his profile.

Benzema emphasizes this paradox: Dembélé is a Ballon d’Or winner... but he is talked about less than other stars. This observation echoes the sentiment that his real influence in matches, his ability to single-handedly overturn a defensive plan, is sometimes trivialized. The world champion considers that given his chaotic journey and the level he has reached today, media recognition remains below his sporting value, almost an anomaly in the current landscape.
