Benzema began his football career at his hometown club Bron Terraillon SC at the age of eight.

According to Serge Santa Cruz, who was president of Bron Terraillon

in the 1990s, Lyon officials visited him directly in an attempt to sign the youngster; however, Santa Cruz refused.

He has won 24 trophies with Real Madrid, including four La Liga, three Copa del Rey and five UEFA Champions League titles. Born in Lyon to parents of Algerian descent, Benzema began his career with hometown club Olympique Lyonnais in 2005, contributing sporadically to three Ligue 1 title wins.
