Benzema’s new contract includes an unwritten rule, known as the “Ballon d’Or clause.” The clause allows Benzema to stay at Real Madrid as long as he holds the Ballon d’Or, which is awarded annually to the best footballer in the world. Benzema won the prestigious award last year, after leading Real Madrid to a La Liga and Champions League double.
The Frenchman’s success on the pitch has been nothing short of remarkable. Since joining Real Madrid, Benzema has won five Champions League titles and four La Liga titles. He has scored a total of 349 goals and contributed 165 assists in 640 appearances for the club.

Benzema’s impact on the team cannot be overstated, and it’s no surprise that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was eager to keep him at the club. The two men have a close relationship, with Perez having signed Benzema in 2009.
Benzema’s new deal comes at a time when he is in top form. He ended last season as the top scorer in La Liga and the Champions League, and he has continued his impressive form this season. He has scored 26 goals and provided six assists in 35 appearances across competitions.
Despite his age, Benzema shows no signs of slowing down. He is still a crucial player for Real Madrid, and his experience and leadership on the pitch are invaluable to the team. His new contract will give Madrid fans another reason to cheer, and they will be hoping that he can continue to lead the team to success in this year’s Champions League as well.
