A “crazy” promise from Real Madrid players to Karim Benzema
The well-known French network, Foot Mercato, said that Real Madrid players made a “crazy” promise to their teammate Karim Benzema, which will be implemented during the upcoming matches.
Real Madrid practically lost hope of winning the La Liga title this season, as it lags behind the leader of the standings, Barcelona, by 11 points, only 6 rounds before the end of the competition.
But Ancelotti’s team is still alive in the Champions League and the King’s Cup. In the first, he will face Manchester City in the semi-finals, and in the second tournament, he will face Osasuna in the final match on May 6.
Karim Benzema is the most prominent Real Madrid player last season, in which they won the European Champions League and the Spanish League, as he scored 27 goals in La Liga alone, winning them the title of top scorer in the competition for the first time in his history, and he also won the Golden Ball award.
However, this season witnessed a lower performance for the French star due to the many injuries he suffered, which made him lag behind Lewandowski (19 goals) in the La Liga top scorer rankings, by two goals, as Benzema scored 17 goals in 21 matches so far.
According to the Foot Mercato network, Real Madrid players promised their colleague, Karim Benzema, to help him overtake Lewandowski and win the La Liga top scorer award, as they pledged to present his interest over theirs in matches and pass him whenever there was an opportunity available for him to score goals.
