Karim Benzema's secret is out: the player does something that no one else should do

Real Madrid has just won its fourteenth UEFA Champions League title, so everything is a celebration among the Merengues, however, and taking advantage of the occasion, Karim Benzema's secret was discovered, as the player does something that no one else should do.

And no, it is not about unsportsmanlike attitudes or activities that can damage his physique, such as addictions or issues of that style. What the player did is something that no one else should do, but from a sporting point of view, it is probably something that the most diehard soccer fans would applaud the player for since on the one hand, it could be considered that what Benzema did is a sign of the player's dedication to Madrid.

But that same thing that many people would consider a sign of dedication and sacrifice, surely would not be well seen by doctors, who even told the player not to do what he ended up doing with his body, and that surely later could bring physical and health consequences. But apparently, the player decided to prioritize greatness and glory over his health.

What did Karim Benzema do that made his doctors angry?

The lethal French striker decided not to follow the recommendations of his doctor and not to undergo surgery for an injury he suffered in the little finger of his right hand, an injury he suffered in 2019, in a collision against Marc Bartra in which the Frenchman fell to the ground and his finger was crooked. The pain was such that he could not continue in the match and came off as a substitute. And when he was attended to by doctors, the player refused to have the finger injury operated on.

And he refused because he did not want to stop playing with Real Madrid and continue competing at the top of the table of the Spanish league and Champions League, since the operation would have put him out of circulation for 2 weeks, so the player refused and since then, he wears protection on his right hand with which he can always be seen on the field, but without it, his finger looks like in the picture below.
