Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema insists he's fully committed to the club.

Benzema has been questioned about his commitment to Madrid, given the controversy with which he left the France squad. But the forward was in no mood to see these rumours grow, fully affirming his relationship with the club.

“I know what I did and what Real Madrid means to me", he said, “I wanted to play every match, but I was injured. I needed the time to recover."

He was, however, a bit more coy when it came to his contract, which is due to run out in the summer: “I'm here, at Madrid, I enjoy every training session, I enjoy every year. I don't know how long I'll be here, but I enjoy every day. I'm at Madrid, talking about that [the contract] is a different topic.

“I am back from my injury and I worked hard to get back to my best level. I want to get on the ball, score and assist and I feel like I'm back. I hope I can keep helping my teammates. I'm feeling good both mentally and physically. Last year was a very important year for me, but then I had various injuries and it took time to return, but now I'm on the right path. I feel good."
