LaLiga: Courtois explains how Real Madrid will replace Benzema’s goals next season

Real Madrid goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois has explained how his team will replace Karim Benzema’s goals next season.

Benzema recently left Real Madrid to join Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad.

He has led the team’s attack since Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit in 2018.

The Frenchman was in superb form last season, scoring 31 goals and providing six assists in 43 matches across competitions for Real Madrid.

Therefore, replacing Benzema will be a tough ask for Madrid and Courtois believes the likes of Joselu Mato, Vinicius, Rodrygo and Federico Valverde can replace Benzema’s goals.

Speaking about how the team plans to replace Benzema’s goals, Courtois said: (via Madrid Zone): “Replacing Benzema’s goals? It has to be a team thing. We have Vini, Rodrygo, Joselu who is a really good striker for us.

“He is a profile we did not have before. Fede scored like 12-14 goals last season, maybe now he has to try to score 20. It comes as a team.”
