"I couldn't have imagined achieving everything that I have, but I  joined this club to win silverware, be a success and achieve a lot of  things."I knew that I'd have some tough seasons, but it doesn't matter because this is the best club in the world. I'm really happy."Benzema also provided an insight into the early stages of the team's transformation under Lopetegui, who was sensationally sacked as Spain coach on the eve of the World Cup. "We know that Lopetegui is a coach who likes his teams to have  the ball and play a possession-based game," the four-time Champions  League winner said."He also places great emphasis on working hard when we lose the ball and how we press after we've given possession away."</blockquote>
