Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema will miss their Matchday 37 clash against Celta Vigo due to discomfort in his left knee. With Cristiano Ronaldo also sidelined for the match due to injury and rest, coach Carlo Ancelotti is choosing to avoid further risks ahead of the Champions League final against Atlético Madrid on May 24.
Benzema, who has only scored one goal in his last 11 matches, has faced criticism for his performances during the team’s recent struggles in La Liga, contributing to their difficult end-of-season form. Real Madrid, who are still mathematically in the title race, will aim to focus on the league despite their poor recent form, while keeping an eye on their preparations for the upcoming Champions League final.
