00:00
After 14 trophy-filled years, Karim Benzema trained with his Real Madrid teammates for
00:06
the last time.
00:08
His departure from the club comes as a surprise, with Madrid's coach saying just hours earlier
00:13
that the star forward would stay on.
00:17
He has one year left of his contract, so we have no doubts.
00:21
Benzema has lifted 25 trophies with the club.
00:24
That includes five in the Champions League, as well as four in La Liga and three Copa
00:29
del Rey titles.
00:30
The French striker is Los Blancos' second top scorer of all time with 354 goals and
00:37
is the current holder of the Ballon d'Or for the world's best player.
00:41
In a statement, Real Madrid described Benzema's time at the club as brilliant and unforgettable.
00:47
"Karim Benzema's career at Real Madrid has been a shining example of conduct and professionalism,
00:54
and he has represented the values of our club.
00:57
Karim Benzema has earned the right to decide his future."
01:02
Benzema ramped up his goal output for Real Madrid after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo
01:07
in 2018, scoring in 44 of 46 games last season and playing a crucial role in clinching a
01:14
Champions League title.
01:16
There's speculation Benzema could follow in Ronaldo's footsteps and move to a club in
01:21
Saudi Arabia.
01:23
A farewell ceremony will be held for him on Tuesday.
