Senior Real Madrid star Karim Benzema I believe he made the right call to leave the club in 2023.
The Frenchman chose to bring down the curtain on his incredible career in the Spanish capital after winning four The league titles and five UEFA Champions League crowns.
Benzema's best season in 2022/23 saw 44 goals in 46 games as Real Madrid won a domestic and European double.
His decision to leave Madrid came as a surprise, but it was accepted as part of the club's strategy on players aged 30+.
New club Al Ittihad failed to defend their Saudi Pro League title in 2023, but Benzema does not regret his call to leave the Spanish capital.
“Players come and go. That's how it is at Real Madrid, it will always happen. It was the right time to leave, I look back and I feel happy,” according to reports from Brand.
“Real Madrid is always the best team in the world. Players come and go, but Real Madrid will always be at the top.”
Benzema's Real Madrid tally of 354 in 648 games in all competitions puts him second on the club's all-time list behind boss, and former teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo on 450.
