Karim Benzema, the French football star, played his last match for Real Madrid on Sunday, 23 May 2021. The match ended in a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao, but the result was not the focus of the day. Instead, it was a day to celebrate the career of one of Real Madrid's greatest players.

Benzema has been with Real Madrid for 14 seasons, during which he scored 354 goals and had 165 assists. He has been a key player in the team's success, helping them win numerous titles, including four Champions League trophies. His contribution to the team has been immense, and he will be missed by both the fans and his teammates.

Reports suggest that Benzema will be joining the Saudi club Ittihad Jeddah, and his farewell match was an emotional moment for everyone involved. He started the match and played until the 73rd minute, when he was substituted to a standing ovation from the fans. It was a fitting tribute to a player who has given so much to the club.

Benzema's departure marks the end of an era for Real Madrid. He has been a constant presence in the team for over a decade, and his absence will be felt. However, the club has a history of rebuilding and finding new stars, and there is no doubt that they will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of football. As for Benzema, he will be remembered as one of the greatest players to have ever worn the Real Madrid shirt.
