Real Madrid have announced the departure of legendary attacker Karim Benzema after 14 years at the Santiago Bernabeu.
This news was published on the club’s official website. Real Madrid will hold a special tribute ceremony this Tuesday at noon (local time).
A few days ago, Karim Benzema received the Marca Leyenda (legend) award in recognition of his spectacular career. The Real Madrid captain, who is part of our club’s history with 647 appearances and 353 goals, received the award at a ceremony held at the Real Casino de Madrid.
Benzema leaves Real Madrid as the second-best scorer in the history of the club after his 14 seasons in the Spanish capital. The French attacker conquered five Champions League trophies and four La Liga titles, winning a total of 25 titles in the club.
Benzema will play his last match as a Real Madrid player today where he should be expected to receive the love and support from the fans at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Frenchman ultimately accepted the offer from Saudi Arabia. Therefore, Benzema decided to end his career in elite football.
Benzema wrote history for Real Madrid. He leaves as one of the best players to ever wear the white jersey.
