Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has declared that he intends to stay at the club so long as he keeps being selected to start.

The Frenchman has been at the Bernabeu for nine years now, and has enjoyed tremendous success with the Spanish giants since his €35m move from Lyon.

He has made 371 appearances across all competitions since joining, scoring 181 goals and has been considered through that time as one of the world's top strikers.

He seems to have been given the nod to start games season after season, and despite him approaching 30, he is still the main central striker for the club under compatriot Zinedine Zidane, and he is happy to remain if he keeps being selected.
