Karim Benzema is the emblem of Ancelotti’s Real Madrid and, along with his teammate Vinícius Junior, one of the LaLiga players. The French forward, who has 18 goals in 21 games this season between the League and the Champions League, received the AS Sports Award on Tuesday after a spectacular year in which he has already scored 45 goals. After receiving the award, Karim Benzema has attended Manu Carreño in the special program of ‘El Larguero’ since the AS awards gala.

Congratulations on the award, Karim.
This is a trophy too, but the most important thing is the collective.
It is doing very well collectively as well. Who was going to tell you at the beginning of the season.
Well, we are doing very well. We are first in the league, qualified for the Champions League … We have to continue like this until the end.
Do you see the Real Madrid favorite for LaLiga?
It’s too early to talk about favorites, but we’re on the right track.
Is it your best year?
Every year I try to be better than before (laughs).
And Modric’s, Kroos’s, Casemiro’s … Now there are Alaba and Militao and nobody remembers Ramos …
I think they all row in the same boat, on the same path. I see a very good and competitive Real Madrid in everything we can win.
Well, I’ll leave you since today is awards night and we have to celebrate it …
Okay, I’m going home to rest because tomorrow there is training.
(Laughs) The last one: How has Vinícius improved no? Does it surprise you?
Not at all. I know him, I know he can do these things in the field.
And next year with Mbappé I won’t even tell you …
(Laughs) Let’s see if it comes …
