Karim Benzema has unveiled his dream starting eleven, and his selection is certainly sparking reactions. The 2022 Ballon d'Or winner, clearly inspired, has assembled a lineup comprised exclusively of legends who have left an indelible mark on world football. When asked about his choices, he confidently stated:

"These are the players who made me dream the most. It's impossible to do better," declared 'KB9'.
