tvOnenews.com – Captain Karim Benzema’s goal paved the way for Real Madrid to the Spanish Super Cup final. After a 1-1 draw at normal time, Madrid eliminated Valencia on penalties.
Karim Benzema has become the permanent captain of Real Madrid starting at the start of the 2022-2023 season. After repeatedly carrying out his duties while Marcelo Vieira was absent, Benzema is now officially the leader of the Los Blancos squad.
After Marcelo’s contract expired, Benzema was the most senior player in the Real Madrid team. He has joined Los Merengues from 2009 or simultaneously with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, two superstars from Portugal and Brazil.
Benzema struggled to get a starting place. He had to compete with Gonzalo Higuain and Raul Gonzalez before leaving Madrid respectively. Benz later became part of the BBC trio after Gareth Bale joined Ronaldo.
January 2023, Bale announced his retirement and Cristiano started his career in Saudi Arabia. Before moving to Al Nassr, Ronaldo offered to defend Real Madrid again. But twice Madrid rejected the offer of agent Jorge Mendes.
