Real Madrid is a club with not only a rich legacy but also sky-high expectations, especially for its forwards. Karim Benzema, one of the greatest strikers in Los Blancos history, understands this pressure well.
Details: Benzema spoke about the intense pressure facing Real Madrid’s forward Kylian Mbappé, explaining that the club and its fans expect goals almost every match. Even a short goal drought, such as two or three games, can lead to significant criticism for a striker at Madrid.
Quote: "Mbappé knows that there’s a lot of pressure at Real. If you finish two or three games without scoring—they’ll kill you. You could win the Ballon d’Or, but if you don’t score in three games after that, it’s the same story," Benzema told El Chiringuito TV.
Reminder: Benzema had previously commented on what he views as Mbappé's main challenge at Real Madrid.
