Real Madrid's 4-1 win over Valencia, with Benzema and Vinicius scoring two goals each, is not a simple victory for Real Madrid, and after losing to Getafe in the last round, Ancelotti's side proved who is the real king of La Liga. Facing Valencia, who is not too weak, Real Madrid hardly gave their opponents too many opportunities and won the opponents. After scoring two goals in this game, Benzema has reached fourth place in Real Madrid's top scorer list, behind C Ronaldo, who scored 450 goals, Raul with 323 goals, and Di Stefano, who scored 308 goals.
Take a brief look at this game, most of the main lineup of Real Madrid have obviously shown their strength more than one notch stronger than the opponent, the full possession rate has reached 2 times that of the opponent, and the number of shots is almost the same. In this gap, shots such as Benzema and Vinicius will get a steady stream of opportunities to threaten the opponent's door, and finally successfully win the opponent by a score of 4:1. At present, Real Madrid's points in La Liga have reached 49 points, the lead is still relatively large, as for the old rival Barca, it is currently very difficult to pose a threat to Real Madrid.
As a 34-year-old veteran, Benzema seems to have ushered in another peak of his career in the last two seasons, not only becoming real Madrid's top scorer, but even in la Liga and even in European football, Benzema's performance on the offensive end can be at the forefront. So far this season, Benzema has scored 17 league goals and 5 Champions League goals, which is exactly the data of the top scorers, and it is not at all obvious that he is a 34-year-old goalscorer. With his performance, will Real Madrid be willing to give Benzema a new contract?
The current contract between Benzema and Real Madrid expires in 2023, that is, after the end of next season, with his current performance at Real Madrid, it seems that it is worth a new contract. However, at present, two news is still more worrying for Benzema fans, one is that Real Madrid is not willing to give a long contract, but prefers the way of 1 year and 1 sign, and the other is that Real Madrid is still interested in bringing in Dortmund's goalscorer Haaland, and Mbappe to form a real new double. Neither of these news is good news for Benzema.
First of all, with Benzema's age, it is indeed not very suitable to give a long contract, and the 1-2 year contract is not too much of a problem, and it is estimated that it is within the acceptable range of both parties. But once Real Madrid brings in a shooter of Haaland's level, Benzema's playing time in the front and the chances of shooting will drop a lot, which is still something that needs to be carefully considered for Benzema. Moreover, Real Madrid must also consider whether it can spend a lot of money to bring in Haaland and then abandon Benzema. It seems that Haaland is the future, but the current Benzema is still very strong, and it is indeed a pity to give up.
