Ballon d'Or favourite Karim Benzema claims Cristiano Ronaldo departure meant he 'could do more' for Real Madrid
Karim Benzema has suggested that he feels he was able to take his game to another level after Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid. Ronaldo spent nearly a decade in the Spanish capital as the club's undisputed star, with Benzema a perfect front-three foil. Ad Yet since the Portuguese forward departed for Juventus in 2018, Benzema has further elevated his individual game, producing arguably his four best seasons at the club.
