Benzema Regretting Decision To Join Al-Ittihad –Larqué

Former PSG coach Jean Michel Larqué has revealed that Karim Benzema is currently regretting leaving Real Madrid for Al-Ittihad.

Recall that Benzema joined Saudi Arabia champions Al Ittihad on a three-year deal after leaving Real Madrid last summer.

However, in a chat with TribalFootball, Larque said that he was disappointed to see Benzema leave Real Madrid despite expressing his desire to finish his career at Madrid.

“Benzema regrets. Of course, everyone does what they want, but making their departure a success was important. I remember that he had expressed his desire to finish his career at Real Madrid.

“He had the opportunity. He could have stopped walking out the big door, having brought several titles and obtained the Ballon d’Or. He was lost by joining an artificial championship.

“Sometimes I see the games in Saudi Arabia and he no longer has legs. The twilight of a career is a terrible thing. It is a losing battle. You don’t feel like it anymore. It’s a losing battle and I feel like he could have gone out the big door. He didn’t, it’s a shame. Doing one more year at Real Madrid or retiring at that time would have been boring too.”
