La Liga president Javier Tebas chooses between Barcelona s Robert Lewandowski and Real Madrid s Karim Benzema

By Dakir Mohammed Thanveer Modified 06 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share The La Liga giants have new poster boys following Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's exits La Liga president Javier Tebas has revealed that he prefers Real Madrid talisman Karim Benzema over Barcelona superstar Robert Lewandowski. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were the poster boys for Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively for several seasons. However, both players have put an end to their time in Spain in recent years. The La Liga giants have undergone a transition following Ronaldo and Messi's departures in 2018 and 2021, respectively. Real Madrid and Barcelona now have new poster boys in the shape of Benzema and Lewandowski. Benzema has been with Los Blancos since 2009, but Ronaldo's exit has made him the main man at the club. Lewandowski, on the other hand, swapped Bayern Munich for the Catalans for €45 million this summer. While Ronaldo and Messi's rivalry may be unmatched, many expect Benzema and Lewandowski to forge something similar. Both strikers are on the wrong side of their 30s, but remain at the top of their games.
