Real Madrid forward and captain Karim Benzema won three awards at once during the award ceremony of the Spanish newspaper Marca.

According to the results of the public vote, Benzema was the top scorer, the Di Stefano Cup and the best player of the season.

Benzema scored 27 goals last season in La Liga.

Benzema said after receiving the Marca awards: “I’m in good shape now, I’m looking forward to playing with the team again, I’ve been training with the group and I’m fully prepared.”

Benzema thus confirms his recovery from the injury that kept him away from Real Madrid in the derby he suffered against Celtic in the Champions League opener.

“I am so grateful to the fans, this is an important award for me, thanks to my teammates, without them I would not be here today.”

And about a goal that holds a great memory of him: “In the Spanish League, my goal in the last minutes was against Sevilla, but in the Champions League it was the one I scored at Paris Saint-Germain, that night was magical. “.

He concluded by saying: “I am very proud of my work, this year will be difficult, I always want to give more and I will try my best to win the championship and the championship like we did last season.”
