This week, Karim Benzema did not fail to take advantage of the presence of Real Madrid in Saudi Arabia to visit his former club. If he was full of praise for Vinicius Jr, whom he currently considers to be number one, it was the entire White House in general that Nueve wanted to salute. In an interview with Marca, the former French international made a true declaration of love for the club whose colors he defended for fourteen years (2009-2023).
“Real Madrid is still Real Madrid, that is to say, it is a team to win everything, to succeed. They are still here because they win titles and now they have the chance to win another one. This is my club. I have spent half my life there and it feels like home. I always watch Real Madrid matches” he declared before returning to the content of the discussions he had with the players: “We talked more like friends. It’s strange, but we talk more about life than football. It was nice. I watch the matches and we discuss something. With Vinicius, for example, we talked about the Ballon d’Or, but basically it was a conversation with everyone, about simple things, about life.“
Benzema does not close the door to a return to Real Madrid!
He then wanted to praise Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Pérez: “Yes, yes, I was with him (Ancelotti). He is an excellent coach. I feel very good with him, as friends. Florentino Pérez was not there. I spoke to him on WhatsApp and told him we had to meet and that if he comes, I’ll see him before the final and we’ll talk. I want to send a message to the people of Madrid because I am still with Real Madrid. This is a team to win titles. This year it will surely be proven once again that Real Madrid is the best club in the world. Hala Madrid!“
Finally, he did not close the door to a return to the Merengue: “Yes, of course, why not. At the moment I am in Jeddah and I am doing very well. The time will come to see how life is and I will surely be close to Madrid.“
