A team player at the height of his career

During a season rich in goals and emotions for him, including his return to the France team, Karim Benzema reached his sporting quintessence, at 33 years old. Scorer in the final against Spain (1-2) last Sunday, Benzema largely participated in the coronation of the Blues in the League of Nations, but will necessarily suffer at the time of the votes of the bad tricolor course at the Euro.

In 2021-22, "KB9" already peaks at 10 goals with Real Madrid and 7 assists, for 7 selection goals and 2 assists in 12 games.

A record as formidable as ever, proving a little more all the dimension taken by the French striker who can also boast of being a formidable team player.

A little less than a month and a half from the final verdict, Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski or even Jorginho are cited among the most serious contenders alongside Benzema.
