Karim Benzema expects to remain with Real Madrid for as long as he's regularly in their starting XI.

"Playing in another team or retiring here? If I am in the starting line-up then there is no need for me to go anywhere else," said Benzema.

Benzema has been with Real Madrid for nine years.

"It's the best club in the world," said Benzema. It's a pleasure and I'm very proud. The expectations are always high and you start every season with zero and you have to work your way up to the maximum level."
