When Karim Benzema revealed how Cristiano Ronaldo's departure from Real Madrid changed him as a player

Ronaldo left Real Madrid in 2018 after nine glorious seasons. He scored 450 goals in 438 matches for the Spanish giants.

Since Ronaldo's departure, Karim Benzema has become the leader of the team's attacking unit. The Frenchman revealed last year how the Portuguese forward's departure changed him. Benzema said (via Hindustan Times):;

"It’s been different for me since Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid. It’s true that I’ve scored many more goals, but when Cristiano was here, we had a different style of play, I was providing more assists. He really helped me on and off the pitch."

Benzema added:

"But at that time, I did know that I could do more and when he left, it was the time to change my game, change my ambitions and I am doing that well at the moment."

Benzema has been Los Blancos' leading attacker in recent seasons. The Frenchman reached the crowning moment of his career when he won the 2022 Ballon d'Or.
