Real Madrid star Karim Benzema, who is in extraordinary shape this season, has been wearing a bandage on his right hand for more than three years.

It all started on January 13, 2019, during a Betis-Real Madrid match. In one action, after an intervention by Marc Bartra and an attempt to avoid falling with his whole body to the ground, Benzema broke the little finger of his right hand.

His gestures of pain were evident and he immediately sought replacement, as he was unable to play the second half of that duel nor was he able to play the next match, against Leganés, valid for the King's Cup.

But, the next match in the championship, against Sevilla, the Madrid striker appeared on the field with his hand bandaged. It seems that the bandage brought him luck, as in the other four games, against Girona, Espanyol, Girona again and Alavés, he scored 6 goals.

At the time of the injury, Benzema did not undergo surgery, in order not to leave his team without the most important player in the attack. There were doubts whether Benzema did the operation later, as the Frenchman had not clarified it and the belief was created that he was wearing the bandage because it brought him luck.

But, recently, before the match against Manchester City, in the Champions League, Benzema clarified:

"I had the operation, but when you have surgery, you have to stay out for two months and I wanted to play. "I killed my finger again, but I no longer had time to stop and have another operation, so I play with the bandage."
