The best sportsman of the year 2021 for Jérémy: Verstappen
His championship title is the biggest surprise of this year. Indeed, by ending the reign of Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes, he created the sensation of 2021. It's a feat only Hollywood could have imagined. Everything came together to make the show extraordinary. First, we have an incredible duel between two heroes ready to overcome the and their limits. Then, glitter, passion, pressure, twists and spectacular controversies. Finally, a final in apotheosis, with the title still at stake, in the last round, of the last Grand Prix.For me, he is the sportsman of the year, as his victory is surprising and exceptional. In addition, this feat gives hope for a next season even more contested.
Paul's best sportsman of the year 2021: Karim Benzema
Karim Benzema is undoubtedly one of the sportsmen of the year. At the age of 34, he had one of the best years of his football career. In terms of statistics, he scored 38 goals in 2021, including 30 with his long-time club Real Madrid. He became the leader and captain of this mythical team. The other 8 goals are with the France team where he made his return after five years without wearing the blue, white, red jersey. A very noticeable comeback especially with his performances during the Euro and the League of Nations. 2021 is also synonymous with a record. He has reached the milestone of 400 career goals. This makes him one of the best strikers in the history of this sport. This fabulous year was concluded with a fourth place in the Ballon d'Or. A very nice distinction for a player little mentioned in the best players in the world in recent years.
The best sporting event of 2021 for Esteban
When I think of a sporting event of the year 2021, I necessarily think of the European Football Championship of the summer 2021. And when I think of the Euro football, I think of that day of June 28, 2021. This day gave us two absolutely exceptional matches, one perhaps less exceptional than the other for us French.
Indeed, this day saw the victory of Spain against Croatia in the early afternoon in the knockout stages on the score of 5-3 after twists and turns galore while the France, reigning world champion and therefore great favorite of the tournament, was eliminated in the eighths against Switzerland in the evening while it led by 3 goals to 1 before the last ten minutes to finally be Go back to three goals everywhere and end up being eliminated on penalties.
This day gave us fourteen goals with the bonus of incredible scenarios leading among other things to the elimination of the France, which makes it personally the most significant event on the football planet in 2021.
