Karim Benzema Spoke About Kylian Mbappe’s Final Decision. After winning the Champions League again, Karim Benzema spoke to ‘Telefoot’ on the final against Liverpool and he was asked about Kylian Mbappe, who will stay at PSG. “Everyone makes their own decisions,” he said.
Benzema was delighted hours after becoming the kings of Europe. In comments to ‘Telefoot’, the French striker said that he is “very happy” after a historic season by Real Madrid.
For the former Lyon man, this Champions League was “the most difficult and most beautiful because, from the last 16 onwards, they faced great teams like PSG, Chelsea, Man City and then Klopp’s Liverpool in the final.
Karim Benzema Spoke About Kylian Mbappe’s Final Decision. “I’m happy, proud, with lots of emotions, very happy. I think I still don’t realise,” he explained, before highlighting the role of Courtois. The Belgian was the Man of the Match in Paris: “A team need a goalkeeper who can make saves which prevent certain goals. That’s why we thank him.”
“I believe that goal, even though it was disallowed for offside, gave us a little bit of confidence. Vinicius? This year we scored lots of goals, gave lots of assists and that’s good. But that is because we are at the tap. We’ve had a great season, but that’s all,” he concluded.
On Marcelo, Benzema said that “he’s the captain” and it was “normal” for him to pick up the trophy. “He’s the captain, the maion captain and he deserved it, he’s a club legend. He hasn’t payed the last few games, but he’s present, he helps the youngest player. It was something natural, it wasn’t thought about at all,” he added.
The Ballon d’Or is “a dream” for Benzema, who admitted that he felt better this season: “I’ve had a great season, won titles, scored important goals. We’ve all had a great season, but as I always say, to win titles, you have to score important goals and I did that.”
He was also asked about Mbappe and he said that he would have liked him “to have been able to fulfil his dream of playing for Real Madrid.” “He chose PSG and we must respect that. He’s young, it’s his choice, he’s got a lot of responsibility. We’ll enjoy playing together for the national team. We’re good friends, that won’t affect our relationship. Everyone makes their own decision. Real Madrid are Real Madrid. I’m not disappointed. I’m happy and I hope he does good things,” Benzema concluded.
