14 years after his arrival in the Spanish capital, Karim Benzema leaves with the status of legend, with his 25 trophies with the White House. During his long spell in Madrid, the Frenchman notably won 5 Champions Leagues, 4 Ligas and 3 King’s Cups.

Since the Madrid club formalized his departure, tributes have multiplied from the world of football and his teammates. Vinicius Jr, who spent five years alongside the Frenchman and who now seems ready to take the reins of the attack, notably wrote him a very nice message on his Twitter account.

“I grew up with you”

Benzvini, Vinzema… And so on. The result has always been the same: goals, laughs, titles and, above all, learning. When the overly shy boy from São Gonçalo arrived in Madrid in 2018, you were the first to greet me. I will never forget him. I grew up with you. We have won in Spain, in Europe and in the world together. And I was able to applaud your Ballon d’Or with great pride. It’s the end of this “duo of darkness” today, but I will always keep our videos as a source of inspiration and the memory of an unforgettable period. Karim, you will be greatly missed. Thanks for any caption“, wrote the Brazilian in particular.

This season, both men have carried Real Madrid on their shoulders with 53 goals and 35 assists between them. It wasn’t enough for Los Blancos to win La Liga or reach the Champions League final. Carlo Ancelotti’s men saved their campaign by winning the King’s Cup, beating Osasuna in the final (1-0). For his part, Karim Benzema will continue his career in Saudi Arabia.
