Artificial intelligence finds the perfect replacement for Benzema in Real Madrid

Spanish publication Marca conducted an investigation using artificial intelligence to find the ideal forward to replace Karim Benzema in Real Madrid.


Artificial intelligence Olocip was used to search for a player to replace Benzema. The Spanish publication claims that it is the only technology capable of predicting a player’s performance in a specific team. The main criteria for searching for a potential replacement for Benzema were: the footballer must be a pure “number nine” and be no older than 21 years old. All players considered were rated from 0 to 100, where 0 means that the footballer would not be able to show his potential in the current Real Madrid, and 100 would be given to a forward whose adaptation would be the least painful.


According to the artificial intelligence, the best option is Benfica’s forward Gonçalo Ramos, who received a score of 92. In second place is Reims forward Folarin Balogun with a score of 88. The top three is completed by Montpellier player Eli Wahi with a rating of 80.
