Today in Paris, the French forward of Spanish "Real" Karim Benzema was awarded the "Golden Ball," which is given to the best footballer in the world by the weekly France Football. This is the first such victory in the career of the striker. We remind you that this honorable trophy was once won by three Ukrainian football players. In 1975, Oleg Blokhin received the "Golden Ball," in 1986 — Igor Belanov, and in 2004 — Andriy Shevchenko.
