Karim Benzema, the French forward currently playing for Saudi club Al-Ittihad Jeddah, recently visited the Real Madrid team camp to show support for his former teammates as they prepare for the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia. During his visit, Benzema spent time with coach Carlo Ancelotti and several players, including Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo.
In a surprising development ahead of the highly anticipated Spanish Super Cup final between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Benzema reportedly urged Ancelotti to start Moroccan winger Brahim Díaz in the match. Benzema is confident that Díaz could be the key to Real Madrid’s success, believing the Moroccan can outperform the team’s other attackers and make a decisive impact on the game.
Encouraged by Benzema’s strong belief in Díaz’s abilities, Ancelotti is now considering the possibility of including the Moroccan in the starting lineup, a decision that could surprise many fans.
Benzema himself expressed his trust in Díaz, saying, “Brahim has all the qualities needed to break down Barcelona’s defense and help us win the title.” This statement underscores Benzema’s confidence in Díaz, who may play a crucial role in the upcoming Clasico.
