35-year-old captain of the Spanish club Real Madrid, forward of the French national football team Karim Benzema has announced that he will stop playing for the national team.
The winner of the 2022 Ballon d’Or according to France Football received an invitation to the French national team in May last year to prepare for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. He ended up being part of the 26-player national team ahead of the tournament.
However, during the first training session in Doha, he suffered a hip injury and coach Didier Deschamps and doctor Franck Le Gall sent the footballer home, although he was confident that he could return to the field in time for the 1/8 finals. As a result, Benzema broke off contacts with the national team and refused to fly to Qatar for the 2022 World Cup final, in which France lost to Argentina.
Now, he posted a photo on social media wearing a national team jersey and wrote: “I worked hard and made mistakes to be who I am today. I’m proud of it! I wrote my story and ours ends.”
