Karim Benzema is once again unfiltered in his views, openly critiquing issues at Real Madrid since his departure. In a recent interview with Edu Aguirre on *El Chiringuito TV*, the former Madrid star spoke about the controversies surrounding Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe, addressing the team\u2019s struggles this season under Carlo Ancelotti.<\/p>\n
The relentless truths of BenzemaBenzema was particularly vocal about the Ballon d\u2019Or 2024 situation, describing it as a \u201cmasquerade\u201d for overlooking Vinicius, whom he considers the best player globally. He also commented on Mbappe\u2019s role at Real Madrid, arguing that the French captain has not fully adapted to playing centrally as a \u201ctrue number 9.\u201d According to Benzema, Mbappe\u2019s tendency to favor the left side, much like he did with PSG and the French national team, has impacted his fit within Madrid\u2019s setup.<\/p>\n
Benzema expressed his continued faith in Real Madrid\u2019s resilience, saying, \u201cI always believe in Real Madrid. They always come back, especially when the world doubts them.\u201d However, he emphasized the need for players to perform in their natural positions and for the team to function cohesively. \u201cReal Madrid has the best players in the world, but the team has to play for each other,\u201d he noted, pointing out that chaotic responses to setbacks, like conceding a goal, should be avoided.<\/p>\n
They always come back<\/p>\n
Benzema\u2019s remarks come at a time when Carlo Ancelotti faces mounting criticism over his tactical choices, with some players\u2014such as Jude Bellingham\u2014seemingly impacted by the team\u2019s current lineup. Bellingham, who excelled in a more central role last season, has reportedly been limited since Mbappe\u2019s arrival and status as an untouchable figure in the squad.<\/p>\n
As Real Madrid heads into the second half of the season, the pressure is on Ancelotti to make adjustments that will optimize the team\u2019s strengths. With Benzema\u2019s pointed comments circulating, many fans are left wondering: Will Real Madrid be able to rally and end the season on a high note, or is a shift in tactics inevitable?<\/p>\n
