Karim Benzema is finally enjoying a well earned holiday after a long and successful season. The striker has recently answered a few questions from French youngsters.

Karim Benzema won yet more titles with Real Madrid in the season just gone. Even Mbappe, who could have signed for 'Los Blancos', applauded him for winning his fifth Champions League trophy.

The French forward was crowned the best player of last term's Champions League, and was included in the team of the tournament. 

This Wednesday, the striker answered some questions posed to him by young players at FCM Aubervilliers. One of said questions was related to Benzema's plans once he hangs up his boots.

"Coach, I don't know, possibly...", said Benzema in the first instance.

"In any case, I love football, so the day I stop, I won't be far off being a coach, we'll see", he concluded.

Currently, Benzema is contracted at Real Madrid until the end of next season. Following this, he will negotiate with the club on whether or not he will stay at the Bernabeu for another season.
