New La liga season: Fit Benzema set to hit the ground running

 

Raphael Varane wasn’t the only Frenchman to report for duty at Valdebebas Thursday, Karim Benzema did, too.

The marksman is raring to go according to Marca; he thrived at Euro 2020 despite France’s underperformance and he’s already renewed his contract with Real Madrid although it’s yet to be made official.

Benzema, who was France’s top scorer this summer with four goals, is absolutely delighted to be back with his national team.
