WATCH: Real Madrid’s talisman Karim Benzema scores an amazing first-touch goal in his training session after returning from holidays
Karim Benzema
Karim Benzema, who was crucial to Real Madrid’s ludicrously successful 2021/22 season in which they won both La Liga and the Champions League, missed their first pre-season friendly of the new season, a 1-0 loss to Barcelona in Las Vegas.
However, he returned back to training today, when Carlo Ancelotti’s men face Mexican side Club America. Footage has emerged of Benzema performing a crazy touch and finish in training to embarrass teammate Alvaro Odriozola.
Benzema made headlines after scoring an incredible golazo during Real Madrid’s training session on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles, California. The Frenchman snatched a high ball from the sky, lifted it over his opponent, and finished ruthlessly clinically.
Real Madrid finish their pre-season campaign against Juventus on Saturday evening before returning to Europe to face Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt in the European Super Cup. On August 14th, they will begin their La Liga title defence against newly promoted Andalusian side Almeria.
Real Madrid superstar Karim Benzema follows Cristiano Ronaldo’s method of losing 1kg muscle every year
As reported by Tomas Gonzalez, a reporter specializing in Real Madrid news, revealed that the French striker follows Cristiano Ronaldo’s method of losing 1 kg of muscle every year before the new season to keep himself in shape and ready to fire for the team.
After years of playing in Cristiano Ronaldo’s shadow, at 34, Karim Benzema is finally showing his real talent at Real Madrid in the last few years. The striker helped Real Madrid win their 14th Champions League last season.
He also helped his side secure the La Liga title while scoring 42 goals and registering 14 assists in 44 games across all competitions for Real Madrid. His hat tricks against Chelsea and PSG and winners against Manchester City helped Real Madrid beat all odds to win the Champions League trophy for the 5th time in the last 9 years.
