In case you didn’t know…
Benzema is the leading scorer for the Spanish giants so far this season with 20 goals in all competitions. There is no doubt that he has rediscovered his goalscoring touch after enduring a tough 2017/18 season, which saw him score just 12 goals in all competitions.
The 31-year-old has been a terrific player for Los Blancos over the years despite his inconsistency in front of goal. Benzema has scored over 200 goals for Madrid since his arrival at Santiago Bernabeu 10 years ago.
On the other hand, Real Madrid’s greatest ever player, Cristiano Ronaldo, joined Juventus this past summer after winning three consecutive Champions League titles with the club. With 19 goals and 8 assists, Ronaldo has taken the Serie A by storm, but has left a huge void at his former club; one that is yet to be filled.
The heart of the matter
Benzema has now revealed that in order to provide for Ronaldo, he played more selflessly in the previous seasons but is now happy to play the leading role in Los Blancos’ attack.
What’s next?
Real Madrid will host FC Barcelona twice in the coming week, once in the Copa Del Rey and then in LaLiga, and the onus will be on Benzema to ensure his side are firing on all cylinders up front.
