Benzema scored in Real Madrid's 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano in La Liga. The 35-year-old Frenchman completed the match to the end despite appearing in more than one shot limping and feeling severe pain.
Karim Jaziri, Benzema's agent, posted a photo and video on his official Twitter account revealing the secret of his client's pain. The injury occurred in the 15th minute when the ball reached Benzema from teammate Toni Kroos, and he received it with his back.
