Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Jr has paid tribute to departing teammate Karim Benzema.
Benzema announced on Sunday he was leaving Real Madrid a year before his contract expires.
Vinicius Jr said: "Benzvini, Vinzema... Whatever. The result has always been the same: goals, laughter, titles and, above all, learning.
"When the boy from São Gonçalo, too shy, arrived in Madrid in 2018, you were the first to receive me. I will never forget.
"I grew up with you. We won Spain, Europe and the world together. And I was able to applaud his Ballon d'Or with great pride.
"We finished this 'duo of darkness' in real life today, but I will always have our videos as inspiration and memories of an unforgettable time.
"Karim, we will miss you very much.
"THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, LEGEND!"
