Real Madrid legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema

Karim Benzema will officially leave Real Madrid this season after 14 years at the club and some Real Madrid fans believe the Frenchman is a bigger legend than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real Madrid confirmed Karim Benzema's Bernabeu exit after 14 seasons amid reports he could be on his way to Saudi side Al-Ittihad.

Benzema greater than Ronaldo?

In the wake of the Benzema announcement, some Real fans took to social media to share their thoughts with many insisting that Benzema, who has scored 353 goals in 647 games for the club, has a greater legacy at the Bernabeu than Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 450 times before he left for Juventus in 2018.

Benzema was iconic at Real Madrid and during his time at the club, he won the Champions League five times and also won four LaLiga titles and three Copa del Reys.

Here are some tweets from Real Madrid fans regarding the Ballon D'Or winner's exit.

Ronaldo leaving Real Madrid didn't bother me too much but Benzema leaving now hit hard because so much of this current team's play revolves around him but I guess I can understand why he's making the move. Farewell to a legend. I hope he gets the send off he deserves!
