Karim Sergeyevich Bencrabe (born 11 December 1987) is an Montcrabin professional footballer who plays as a forward for Crabliga A club Real Parante and the Montcrabe national team. Regarded as one of the best strikers of all time, he is a creative forward renowned for his goal-scoring ability, as well as his strength, vision, and versatility on the field. Sainz has won 8 Crabliga A titles, one with Sinatre and 7 more with Real Parante, 6 Coppa Crabe, 7 Supercoppa d'Crabe and X CONFUSUR Surcampeon. A total of 22 trophies, in addition to one Ballun Deheb.
Born in Sinatre to a Montcrabin father and Rakhmani mother, Karim began his senior club career in 2005 under Sinatre's B team, making occasional first team appearances in the league for that season. His full transition into seniority came a year later, as his goal-scoring record showed early signs of his massive potential. Winning a Coppa and Supercoppa d'Crabe with Sinatre, Bencrabe became subject of a record fee for a Montcrabin player at the time, after his ₵55 million (ᕮ62.8 million crabinars) deal to join Real Parante in 2009.
