Despite his departure, the reason why Benzema remains the favorite of the fans

Karim Benzema's farewell to Real Madrid has left a void in the club's attack and an indelible legacy in its history. After his presentation at Al-Ittihad, where he will seek to shine as the main figure, the French striker brings an end to an outstanding career in football's elite.

Throughout his tenure at Real Madrid, Benzema has been subject to criticism, but his numbers and achievements speak for themselves. The player bids farewell as the second-highest goalscorer in the club's history, only surpassed by Cristiano Ronaldo. His goal-scoring ability and influence on the game have left an indelible mark on the Whites.

With Benzema's departure, Real Madrid faces the challenge of finding his successor in the attack. Several names have been mentioned thus far, but replacing the French forward will be a daunting task. His quality and legacy make his absence difficult to fill.

Despite his departure and not being part of the team in the upcoming season, Benzema continues to demonstrate his popularity among fans. According to DAZN, his name remains among the top-selling jerseys.

The people love him

It is surprising to see how people choose his name on a jersey he won't wear on the field since the new kit has been released without his presence. However, this is a testament to the affection and idolatry that fans profess for him, a love that transcends attire and endures in the hearts of Madridistas followers.
