Not only with his on-field performances - he impressed in his first appearance for the club on Tuesday - but also with his statements.

Getafe were 1-0 winners over Carlo Ancelotti’s side on matchday 19 in January, Enes Ünal’s early goal securing the points for the hosts. After taking just one point from their first four LaLiga games this term, Getafe claimed consecutive wins over Real Sociedad and Osasuna in September to rise to 14th, where they remain despite a 3-2 defeat to Real Valladolid last time out. Getafe vs Real Madrid: team newsFor Real Madrid, the major team news is that Karim Benzema is not in the squad.
It appeared to bring him goalscoring luck, as he netted six times in the four games that followed, against Girona, Espanyol, Girona again and Alavés. At the time, AS reported on how the splints necessary for these types of injuries are produced and fitted on the patient: they take just 20 minutes to make and cost around $40. To avoid leaving Madrid without their key attacking player in the final months of the 2018/19 season, Benzema opted against undergoing surgery immediately after the injury. His presence couldn’t prevent Los Blancos from finishing up trophyless, though, after a campaign in which they had three full-time head coaches (Julen Lopetegui, Santiago Solari and Zinedine Zidane). Until recently, it had remained unclear whether Benzema had since gone under the knife.

Real Madrid’s anthem: how many do they have? song, lyrics and meaningEvery Real Madrid fan, wherever they are from in the world, will know the phrase, ¡Hala, Madrid! - the expression used to get behind and show support for the team. The word Hala is frequently used in the Spanish capital but is actually imported from Arabic, a term used to animate horses.

Why does Karim Benzema wear a bandage on his hand? Karim Benzema, who is poised to captain Real Madrid in Sunday’s Clásico against Barcelona, always takes to the field wearing a bandage that covers his right wrist and hand. But why? It all started nearly four years ago, when he sustained a finger injury in a challenge with Real Betis defender Marc Bartra. In January 2019, during a 2-1 LaLiga win for Madrid away to Betis, Benzema collided with Bartra - and as he attempted to break his fall after colliding with the former Barcelona defender, he fractured the little finger in his right hand. In evident pain, the Frenchman had to be substituted at half time, and missed Madrid’s next game, a Copa del Rey last-16 tie with Leganés.

There are different theories about how the song came about. The first is that it was specifically commissioned by Real Madrid president Santiago Bernabéu, as other clubs, including city rivals Atlético, already had their own anthems. The other is that it originated in one of the first supporters’ groups, El Club, based right in the heart of the city on Calle de la Victoria in the Huertas district. We do know that the first incarnation of the lyrics were written by Antonio Villena Sánchez, Marino García (both credited on the record) and his wife, Mercedes Amor Fariña during a train journey from Aranjuez to Madrid in 1952 and the song, a pasodoble, was recorded just a stone’s throw from Huertas at Colombia’s studio in Calle Barco. Ciudad Real-born tenor José de Aguilar provided the vocals, accompanied by a 32-piece orchestra conducted by Indalecio Cisneros. It was issued as a 78 rpm single in 1953 and a few years later on a seven inch EP.
Within months supporters had learned the song and were singing it with gusto on the terraces at the Bernabéu. Curiously, De Aguilar later lent his voice to the anthems of two of the capital’s other clubs, Atlético and Rayo Vallecano. Newer, modified versions of ¡Hala Madrid! Other versions of ¡Hala, Madrid! have since been recorded - Flamenco artist José Mercé recorded his own version in 2005 for the film Real and opera singer Plácido Domingo was the voice on a newer version in 2016 to celebrate the club winning their 11th Champions League. Domingo had earlier recorded the Centenary Hymn, especially for the club’s 100th birthday in 2002 with music and lyrics by Mecano’s José María Cano.

The 34-year-old hadn’t publicly clarified this question, and there were rumours that he now wore his bandage out of superstition. “I don’t have time to stop and have another operation”Ahead of Madrid’s Champions League group-stage clash against Inter Milan in October 2021, however, he revealed he wears the bandage because he still needs it. “I did have an operation, but when you have surgery you have to be out for two months, ” Benzema said. “I’ve hurt [the finger] again, but I don’t have time to stop and have another operation, so I wear the bandage when I’m playing.
