#5 Benzema joined a clinic to lose weight
Benzema had been struggling to settle in the Spanish La Liga and was criticised by a number of pundits for his poor performances. In 2010, Laurent Blanc advised Benzema to work on his fitness and shed some weight in order to live up to his potential.
In 2011, before the new season was underway, on the advice of Zinedine Zidane and Laurent Blanc, Benzema joined a clinic in Italy to lose weight in order to make him more efficient as a player. The trick worked and Benzema scored 32 goals in all competitions that season – his most successful season as a Real Madrid player till date.
