During an Instagram live session with French rapper Rohff last Thursday, Karim Benzema praised Luis Enrique's team and admitted that Real Madrid face a bigger challenge given that they have to manage so many stars in their squad.

Benzema highlighted PSG's internal dynamics, noting the effectiveness of their rotation system: "At PSG, you put the starters in and they play, but when the coach makes changes in the 60th or 70th minute, those who come on contribute even more than those who have been in the starting lineup." 

According to the striker, the key to the Parisians' success lies in the fact that all players, regardless of their role, "know exactly what they have to do".

In contrast, the former Los Blancos player stressed that Álvaro Arbeloa's Real Madrid face a greater challenge due to their structure. "At Real Madrid it's more complicated because they don't play as much as a team; today the group is suffering from that lack of cohesion," declared Benzema, concluding with a reflection on their mutual dependence on the pitch.

For Benzema, the key to PSG's current dominance lies not in the names, but in their structure: "The most famous person at PSG is Luis Enrique, but they are a real team. PSG is not a team of stars, except for Ousmane Dembélé, the Ballon d'Or winner," he declared.

According to the French striker, this cohesion is what makes the difference in top-level competitions: "Whoever you put in attack, everyone works together and the substitutes perform just as well. That's why they are so good."
