Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Paris Saint-Germain star, Lionel Messi, has said he has \u201cno doubts\u201d that Real Madrid captain, Karim Benzema, should win the Ballon d\u2019Or this year.<\/p>\n

Messi spent most of his career at Barcelona going head-to-head with Benzema in La Liga.<\/p>\n

He has now tipped the France striker, who led Madrid to their 14th Champions League title last weekend, to win the Ballon d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there are no doubts Benzema should win the Ballon d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very clear that Benzema had a spectacular year and ended up elevating himself with the Champions League, being essential from the last 16 onwards in all the games. I think there are no doubts this year,\u201d Messi told TyC Sports.<\/p>\n

Benzema netted 15 goals in the Champions League, including the winners in the knockout rounds against PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City.<\/p>\n

He also scored 27 goals and 12 assists as Los Blancos won the LaLiga title.<\/p>\n
