The 2018/19 season saw Lionel Messi, the world's best player in football, leave Barcelona for Manchester United. The move was met with much criticism by fans and the media as it seemed to be a direct result of his lack of ambition and desire to prove himself on the pitch.
However, there were other factors at play as well. The club had been struggling financially and were looking for a way to improve their squad without losing key players like Messi. In response, they signed young starlet Benzema, who was known for his attacking brilliance but had never played professional football before.
Zinedine Zidane, the manager of the team, saw potential in Benzema and gave him the opportunity to showcase his talent on the pitch. This led to some controversy when Benzema scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid in the Champions League final,La Liga Stadium which many felt was unfair.
Despite these controversies, Benzema continued to perform at a high level and helped Manchester United win the Premier League title in his first full season back at Old Trafford. He also became one of the most influential players in the game, scoring 47 goals in all competitions last season.
In the end, Benzema's success at Manchester United has been a testament to his hard work, determination, and ability to score goals. While he may not have achieved the same level of success that Messi did at Barcelona, his impact on the team is undeniable and will continue to be felt long after he leaves the club.
