About Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo
The theme Karim Benzema generates controversy among friends and strangers. The French forward is going through one of the toughest seasons of his career as his effectiveness in front of the rival goal is not what was expected. In the 2017-18 season, he has played 37 matches with the white jersey, scoring only 9 goals and 8 assists: worrying numbers for a 'number 9' of Real Madrid.
Someone who doesn't seem to be concerned at all about the Frenchman's 'drought' is Zidane, who has supported him on several occasions and has received various criticisms. According to the Spanish newspaper 'El Confidencial', Cristiano Ronaldo supports not touching Benzema since his best moments happened when he had the former Olimpique player by his side.
Benzema has the support of his coach and the support of the best player in the club, but this is not an obstacle for big teams on the continent like Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund to be willing to pay for his services.
It is worth mentioning that the forward renewed with the white club until 2021, improving his contract by 9 million euros, in addition to a scandalous clause of 1000 million.
