The resignation of Karim Benzema in the choice of France is a relief for Real Madrid, which sees how his main football player can focus on the last years of his career at the white club. The reigning Ballon d’Or winner, who will now turn 35, announced earlier this afternoon that his history with the France team was “over”.

“I have made efforts and mistakes to get to where I have come and I am proud. I have written my story and ours is ending,” wrote the captain of Real Madrid on their social networks the next day France lost in the final of world France is new.

His sudden departure from the French concentration on Doha days before the premiere, he broke off his tense relationship with Didier Deschamps. The striker considers that the deadlines have forced him to recover from the inconvenience from which he arrived Qatar and, after being injured, insists that he can recover in time to help his team.

Be that as it may, the decision of Benzema giving up on going to France is highly respected within the white club. For five and a half years the ‘9’ was banned from ‘les bleus’ as a result of the Valbuena case and allowed him to focus his performance on Madridsomething that will happen again today.
