5 players who should not have been nominated for the Ballon d'Or

#1 - Karim Benzema

The regular one!

If this list was written every year, Karim Benzema would be one name that would be on all of them! The Frenchman has don't NOTHING significant to deserve a place on the Ballon d'Or shortlist.

Benzema has scored 10 goals this year – 2 of them have been when Madrid were in a losing position and the rest when they were already leading! So what kind of an 'influence' has he actually made for Los Blancos?

The fact that Benzema has made the list ahead of Paul Pogba would not only make the midfielder wonder what he's done wrong but also make him doubt the whole list!

Benzema has not even been in the French squad for off-pitch issues and despite his poor performances for the club, he still makes the list. Well done France Football, well done!
