5 Real Madrid players who would be kings at other clubs

5) Karim Benzema

Karim Benzema Real Madrid — Karim Benzema (L) has always played in the shadow of Cristiano Ronaldo

We conclude our list with the fabulous and elegant Frenchman. He might be an undisputed starter at the club and he might have had his best season as a professional footballer last season, but his position in Real Madrid’s system doesn’t put his abilities to the best use.

Benzema is someone who can not only score goals but can also influence the outcome of a game with his mesmerizing playmaking skills in the final third. It is for this reason why Ronaldo loves playing with him – he just brings the best out of both Bale and Ronaldo.

However, that’s where it ends; bringing the best out of others rather than playing the others in a way to bring the best out of him.

For years, he has been linked with several clubs and there is no doubt that he would have been the focal point of the system at each of the clubs his name has been mentioned with.
