Benzema leaves Real Madrid, securing historic role for club (VIDEO)

Karim Benzema leaves the royal club after spending 14 years in Real Madrid. The Frenchman won 25 titles with Real Madrid. This is the club record that the Frenchman shares with Marcelo.

The game against Atletico was the last for Benzema in the Real shirt. The legend couldn't leave on a winning note as the match ended in a draw. However, this did not stop the Frenchman from scoring a goal in his last game.

In the 74th minute, Benzema was replaced, and Bernabeu saw off the legend with applause. During this time, the game was stopped for several minutes.

It should be noted that Karim Benzema scored 354 goals and 165 assists in 648 games played in all competitions. This number of goals allowed him to take second place among all scorers in the history of Madrid, after Cristiano Ronaldo (450).

With Real Madrid, the Frenchman won the Champions League 5 times and La Liga 4 times. In 2022, Benzema won the Golden Ball.

It is reported that Benzema will sign a contract with "Al-Ittihad" of Saudi Arabia, where he will receive a salary of 200 million euros during two seasons.
