Legend Benzema asks Ancelotti to include Real Madrid’s substitute star in the starting lineup for the most important match of the season against Barcelona

French forward Karim Benzema, who currently plays for Saudi club Al-Ittihad Jeddah, visited the Real Madrid camp to show support for his former teammates, who are in Saudi Arabia to compete in the Spanish Super Cup.

Benzema held a meeting with the players and coach Carlo Ancelotti, as well as several key players, including Mbappé, Bellingham, and Rodrygo. According to the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, in an unexpected move before the highly anticipated Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona, Benzema requested that Ancelotti include Moroccan star Brahim Díaz in the starting lineup.

The former Real Madrid star believes Díaz could be crucial to the team’s success in the match, expressing confidence that the Moroccan forward has the potential to make a significant impact. Benzema further suggested that Díaz could outperform the other forwards in this high-stakes game.

Encouraged by Benzema’s strong endorsement, Ancelotti is reportedly considering the possibility of starting Díaz, a decision that may surprise many of the team’s supporters. It appears that the Real Madrid coach is leaning toward making this bold move, which could prove decisive in securing the Spanish Super Cup, especially with the fierce competition from Barcelona.

Benzema expressed his belief in Díaz’s ability, stating, “Brahim has all the skills necessary to dismantle Barcelona’s defense and help us win the title.” His comment underscores the trust he has in Díaz’s potential to play a pivotal role in the upcoming Clasico.
