It took five years until the first Champions League in Lisbon, but the continuation vindicated the president of the club. A member of five of the last six was Karim Benzema, which, like today 15 years ago, was presented to the public with “meringues”. Of the aforementioned, he was the least known, since the names overshadowed his own transfer, which cost around 35 million euros.
In 13 years of presence at the “Santiago Bernabeu”, Benzema counted 354 goals, 165 assists in 648 appearances. The 2021/22 season was impressive, with 15 goals in the Champions League at crucial moments of the year, such as the upsets against Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, making him the top player in the world by winning the Ballon d’Or.
