Football – French team
As every year, French players have distinguished themselves in the four corners of the continent and in the biggest European clubs. But one of them particularly marked the spirits.
A little more than a year after the coronation of the French team, the French players continue to be popular. Antoine Griezmann, Lucas Hernandez, Benjamin Pavard or Nabil Fekir were all the subject of large transfers last summer. But in the absence of international competition, it is mainly in clubs that the French players have distinguished themselves. And very beautifully.
Benzema, the new boss of Real Madrid
And among them, two stood out, namely Kylian Mbappé and Karim Benzema. Although the striker PSG stacks up and explodes all the precocity records, the longevity of the former Lyonnais and the way he has established himself as the leader of the Real Madrid striker since the start of Cristiano Ronaldo impress. Author of 35 goals in the calendar year, including 16 since the start of the season in 23 appearances with the Merengue club, Karim Benzema keeps writing his legend at real Madrid of which he is the sixth top scorer in history with his 238 goals, just four lengths Ferenc Puskas. The player trained inOL is also just seven goals away from being on the podium for top scorers in Champions League history. With his 64 goals, Karim Benzema is preceded by another Real Madrid legend: Raul (71 goals). Figures that make Benzema the best French of 2019.
