We’ll survive his departure – Ancelotti pays tribute to Benzema

Real Madrid’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has expressed heartfelt appreciation for Karim Benzema as the striker leaves the club to join Al-Ittihad. Despite the departure of the prolific forward, Ancelotti remains confident in his team’s ability to handle the transition.

In a recent statement, Ancelotti praised Benzema’s contributions to Real Madrid, stating, “We have fantastic memories of Benzema and what he did here. I shall be forever grateful to him because he gave us the chance to win the Champions League.”

While acknowledging the loss of key players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, and Casemiro in the past, Ancelotti emphasized that Real Madrid has successfully coped with such changes. He added, “Real Madrid continues and has continued without Cristiano, Bale, or Casemiro. That’s why Real Madrid is loved by fans all over the world, and hopefully, tomorrow they can enjoy the quality of the team and its players. Hopefully, we can win.”
