Depay beats Benzema in goals and assists, gets Ballon d'Or shouts by Barca fans – Madridista's reaction is pure gold

Memphis Depay has recorded his 48th goal contribution in 2021 (Benzema has 46) – but he has got four against Gibraltar who are placed 197th in the FIFA rankings!

Yet some Barca fans want the Dutchman to challenge for the Ballon d'Or, calling Karim Benzema's shouts 'undeserved'.

One Madridista's reaction is simply a joy to see.

"So Benzema's international trophy that involved France, Italy, Belgium and Spain doesn't count because it's a 'friendly' competition, but Depay is suddenly better because he has one goal contribution more than Benzema in 2021? And they are coming vs part-time postmen in international breaks!

"Besides, Depay takes penalties and set pieces. Most of Benzema's goals and assists are from open play, and he played in La Liga for half a year."

Indeed, Gibraltar's national team are represented by players who also have other jobs to do – yet Barca fans are in awe of Depay who converts penalties against them. Weird stuff.

The fun thing is Depay isn't even in the Ballon d'Or top 30 this year...
