Liga: Vinicius and his teammates pay tribute to Benzema

Karim Benzema will have marked the history of Real Madrid. As much as the life of some of his teammates, who wanted to pay tribute to him after the announcement, by the merengue club, of his future departure. "Benzvini, Vinzema... It doesn't matter. The result has always been the same: goals, laughs, titles and, above all, learning,” Vinicius wrote on his official Instagram account, under various photos with his captain.

“When the too shy boy from São Gonçalo arrived in Madrid in 2018, you were the first to welcome me. I will never forget,” added the young Brazilian, 22. “I grew up with you. We have conquered Spain, Europe and the world together. And I was able to applaud your Ballon d'Or with great pride." The complicity of the two men on the ground will end but, continues Vinicius, "I will always have our videos as inspiration and memory of an unforgettable time". And to conclude: “Karim, we will miss you a lot.”

Rodrygo, another Brazilian in the Madrid squad, also paid tribute: "KB9!!! Thank you very much for all the moments we were able to experience together! Thank you for each lesson, each goal, each assist, each title won together and even for the privilege of having participated in your Ballon d'Or,” Rodrygo wrote on his social networks. “You have been part of many dreams of my life, personal and professional. Today, I can only wish you good luck and always a lot of happiness. You are a reference !!!”, wrote the Brazilian again.

"Goodbye Captain!!! Pure magic,” said central defender Nacho Fernández, while Eder Militao wrote: “Thank you Karim! Your beautiful story here at Real Madrid will be eternal. I will keep your advice, your love and your respect for me (…) You are a legend of football, of Real Madrid!”
