Real Madrid has fought its way through to the Champions League semifinals on the backs of the two oldest players on its roster: Karim Benzema, 34, and Luka Modric, 36
On the day Real Madrid unveiled a young French striker named Karim Benzema, the club threw him a special event, packing 20,000 fans in the stadium, all to watch him wear the famous white shirt for the first time. There was no game or practice scheduled, just a grandiose welcome party for a 21-year-old.
Yet even on that afternoon in 2009, the lavish performance felt like a supporting act. Just three days earlier, Real had packed in 80,000 to greet a different signing. His name was Cristiano Ronaldo. For nearly a decade, that remained the pecking order at Real. It took Ronaldo’s exit in 2018 for the team to start thinking about a major rebuild. Only Benzema read the situation differently.
