In the final ten minutes of Real Madrid’s triumphant 8-0 victory against the Bogota Millionaires, Karim Benzema had the honor of wearing the captain’s armband. As Real Madrid opted for squad rotation, the experienced French international, and former Lyon striker, emerged as a natural choice for the captaincy.
Benzema, who has recently rediscovered his goal-scoring form with three goals in as many matches, demonstrated his growing importance in José Mourinho’s squad. Despite a challenging start to the season, the French striker seems to be regaining his confidence.
Michel, the coach of Sevilla FC, has expressed his belief that Karim Benzema possesses the potential to secure a lasting legacy at Real Madrid. In fact, Michel goes further to suggest that Benzema could even be considered as a future captain for the prestigious Merengue club.
