On Thursday evening, the 2021-22 UEFA Awards were given out to the top performers from the last season. It was held alongside the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League (UCL) draw. As for the draw, the highlight of it happened to be Real Madrid's French striker Karim Benzema, who was adjudged the Champions League Player of the Season. He had hammered 15 foals last season as his side lifted the tile for the record-extending 14th time. In total, he plundered 42 goals across competitions. Also, with France defending the title during the FIFA World Cup 2022 later this year, Benzema is a perfect candidate for the Ballon d'Or honour in October.

As Barca played the UCL final last season, she scored 18 goals with 15 assists in the La Liga last season, thus claiming the title.
