At Real Madrid, Karim Benzema had accumulated all of the possible victories in the club game. The Frenchman's outstanding 2021/22 campaign, in which he led Los Blancos to the La Liga and Champions League crowns, earned him the most coveted individual accolade in the game, the Ballon d'Or.
In 46 appearances in all competitions, Benzema scored 44 goals and contributed 15 assists, according to Transfermarkt statistics. 15 of those goals came in the Champions League, which is even more astounding.
It was the most worthy Ballon d'Or ever given. When he had only scored 5 league goals in a season a few years prior and many supporters wanted the team to sign a more productive striker, few could have expected his spectacular climb.
Benzema has raised his level of play and become one of the top players in the world since Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid in the summer of 2018, solidifying his status as a Real Madrid legend in the process.
Benzema discloses his intentions to retire from Real Madrid
It appears that Benzema wants to hang up his boots at Real Madrid. The Frenchman reportedly said as quoted by The Sun:

Real Madrid continued their winning streak on another successful day, maintaining their lead in the La Liga standings. With the victory over Elche, they have now not yet lost a game this year and have only drawn twice, once in the Champions League and once in the league.
Federico Valverde, Karim Benzema, and Marco Asensio scored three goals for Real Madrid against Elche.
Of course, as supporters would have hoped, Benzema honored his Ballon d'Or victory with a hit. Valverde, who has elevated his game, is a different player who merits high praise for his efforts this season.
The Uruguayan outdid himself this time by scoring an even greater goal against Elche after scoring a fantastic goal against Barcelona over the weekend. It is difficult to see Valverde scoring just once during the previous season.
