According to L’Équipe, Olympique Lyonnais president Jean-Michel Aulas is hoping for a Lyon-produced double at the Ballon d’Or award ceremony on Monday with Wendie Renard vying for the women’s award, and former Lyon academy graduate Karim Benzema highly tipped to win football’s biggest individual prize.
“I would love, as there are two Ballon d’Or awards, one for women and one for men, for Karim Benzema to be joined by a student from the Academy (Wendie Renard and Selma Bacha In any case), it’s great news.”
“Benzema deserves it very much, and we’re a bit proud because obviously he’s come out of our Academy, so we’re going to take part, we’re getting ready for it. I’m also happy for the president of Madrid [Florentino Perez], a great man who I’ll say hello to in passing. He came looking for Karim in 2009 with a lot of class, because he called me, and we went together to see him with his family in Bron.”
