Karim Benzema has moved on.
After his withdrawal from the World Cup due to a muscle injury and the announcement of his international retirement the day after the defeat of the Blues against Argentina, the Golden Ball replayed with Real Madrid and found the way to the net in their last three games.
Before the Spanish Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia against FC Barcelona this Sunday, the French striker appeared at a press conference and refused to discuss the news of the Blues.
The former Lyon player first mentioned his physical form, announcing that he no longer felt any discomfort.
“I had several injuries and needed time to recover.
I think I'm on the right track.
I feel very good,” he explained, before discussing his package for the final World Cup of his career: “What happened is over.
The most important thing is tomorrow's game.
I am good in my head and in my body.
The rest is history.
It was complicated, but that's how it is.

“I hope to be able to meet Cristiano Ronaldo”
On the harsh declarations of Noël Le Graët against Zinedine Zidane, the man with 97 selections for the France team split with a very brief: "I will not answer that".
Karim Benzema then found a smile at the mention of Cristiano Ronaldo.
After signing with the Al-Nassr club in early January, the Portuguese took advantage of his former team's move to Riyadh to go to Real Madrid training.
“Cristiano is good here.
He was with us and I hope he will score goals and continue to make a difference", he commented before explaining that he had not met him: "I did not have the time to say hello and I haven't seen it.
I hope to be able to see him tomorrow to talk to him”.
