Karim Benzema has taken swipe at FIFA describing them as liars after Lionel Messi was was named the 2022 best player at The Best Awards in Paris, France, Newspremises reports.

Lionel Messi beat his Paris Saint-Germain, teammate Kylian and Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema to win the award for the second time.

And Benzema feels the award was given to the wrong person following his stellar season with Real Madrid in 2022, including winning the La Liga and UEFA Champions League titles, finishing the year as the top scorer.

Reacting after the ceremony, Benzema posted a video of a man saying what is translated as 'Good night, liars, you lie' to his Instagram story.

The 34-year-old Frenchman missed the 2022 FIFA World Cup after suffering an injury weeks before the tournament in Qatar.

Although, he could have returned to the team before the final against Argentina, Benzema decided to stay at home amid rumoured fallout with coach, Didier Deschamps.

He however, announced his retirement from international football after the 2022 World Cup tournament.

Meanwhile, Messi shone at the competition, winning the best player award as Argentina were crowned champions.

Mbappe finished the World Cup as top scorer with seven goals.

Lol.... this mumu Benz. Is pained.

Messi is the most deserving for winning the World Cup. 2022 was a world cup year.

So to hell with your league and champions league trophies. Leagues and champions league cannot over ride Fifa world cup.

World Cup years are usually calculated based on world cup performance. Not by real Madrid performance.

His fellow players and coaches voted not FIFA. And doesnt he know that in a world cup year, a stellar winning performance always wins the award or did he cry like this when Modric won it in 2018?

Wont be surprised if mods bring this Messi shading thread to FP instead.

Big Benz shuld hv known better, this is petty coming from him to say the least. Every sensible humans knw that wen ever the world cup falls in the same yr wit fifa best, the world cup performance is usually used as the yardstick to whom is deserving of the fifa best award. Same happened wit Modric in 2018 who even went on to clinch the balloon d'Or.

Messi's performance at the jux concluded world cup is outstanding especially for a 35yrs old player. World cup trophy, world cup golden ball, 2nd top scorer behind Mbappe wit a goal difference, top assists, 2goals in the finals. Haba, if no b witch who go wan talk trash.

Why dint Benz play at the world cup? No, he faked an imaginary injury because he had issues wit France's coach. He his known for having issues wit his national team coaches nd players. And also notoriously known for blackmailing his fellow national team players/frnds. Abeg, make Benz no make me dig him ugly history oo.

Wait!! On a second tot, does Benzema wants us to overide a whole world cup, the highest football tournament for a laliga and champions league that is played every season? He must b high on french wine.😂😂

God bless Messi the GOAT. The chosen one. 12 goals and 12 assists in league 1 this season is insane for a player playing from the flank or behind Mbappe.

Wat do u expect boss? Give a butterfly wings to fly and it will start seeing itself a bird. Na Ballon d'Or wey them give am last year they worry am, he now feels he belongs to the same WhatsApp group wit players like Messi and Ronaldo. Hence, the entitlement mentality.

As for Nairaland mods, they can go to hell. Messi's victory trended on twitter and is still trending, and trending in other bigger social media platform that covers the whole world, so Nairaland is insignificant. The important thing b say Messi done add anoda award again at 35 while one person dey camel's league they score against capenters and construction workers.

Ironically, the mods will b amongst the Nigerians shouting "where is ur PVC", "vote for a change", "Vote out corruption for a better Nigeria" yet they re corruption personified in their own little ways.

You know Messi deserves the award more than you, because you won a Ballon d'or means that you can rub should rub shoulders with Messi that is far better than you and has 7 Ballon d'or.
