Since 2005, Karim Benzema has never stopped his assault on football's highest accolade. With his outstanding footwork, Benzema has surpassed many of his opponents to become one of the most decorated players of his generation. Winning the Ballon d 'Or in Paris last night was not only a high recognition of Karim Benzema's brilliant performance last season, but also a high honor for his dazzling career.
Behind the glory is Benzema's dedication to every game. The Real Madrid player has suffered so many injuries to his right hand since 2019 that he has to wear a bandage for every game. The bandage on his hand is not only his signature look, but also a symbol of his breakthrough on the football field. It is also a perfect interpretation of the "impossible" spirit, and Benzema has finally paved the ladder to the top of the football world.
To celebrate Karim Benzema's winning of the 2022 Ballon D 'Or, Adidas released a glorious short film "Hand of Gold", which fully shows him wearing the No. 9 jersey, through every game of continuous struggle, crowned the golden glory road. The short film shows the bandages on Benzema's hands changing from white to gold, which represents honor. It tells the story of the boy born in Bouong, France, who overcame all kinds of tests and climbed to the top of the football world with his willpower.
Since 2007, Adidas has witnessed Benzema's achievements on the pitch and set another milestone in his career. To further deepen the historic significance of this award, Adidas has tailored Benzema a unique pair of super limited edition Gold X SPEEDPORTAL football shoes.
In addition, Adidas and Real Madrid jointly launched Benzema Ballon d 'Or special edition seal number, inviting fans to wear the golden glory.
