Karim Benzema has obviously left a big void at Real Madrid, where his former teammates have not turned the page.
The departure of Karim Benzema was well digested by Real Madrid if we refer to last season. While the former Lyonnais struggled to shine in Saudi Arabia and maintained conflicting relations with his coaches, the Merengue signed a historic season with a 15e coronation in the Champions League and a new title of champion of Spain.
However, the Madrid players are clearly nostalgic for their former captain. This is evidenced by Vinicius’ sweet little words to the Frenchman. ” We miss you “he wrote in a comment posted on Instagram. A message accompanied by a white heart emoji which says a lot about the Brazilian’s feelings for the 2022 Ballon d’Or.
Antonio Rüdiger fan of Karim Benzema
And Vinicius is not the only Madrid player to have declared his love for Karim Benzema. The same was true of Antonio Rüdiger. Asked to give the name of the best player with whom he played during his career, the German defender took the opportunity to say all the good things he thought of the French striker.
“Best player I ever played with? Karim Benzema. I could have cited many others. I could have said Luka Modric, Toni Kroos or Eden Hazard, but I have to stay on Karim Benzema because he was a great striker. His intelligence is incredible! It’s world class”he whispered during an interview with the YouTube channel The Inside Scoop.
