Benzema took the lead in reaching 20+10 in this season's league! Is he the active number one striker?
I can't say that Benzema is the most capable striker on the job, but he is certainly the best in form this season.
It is impossible to take the nickname of man wrongly, and Benzema, who was known as "New Ronaldo" in Lyon, is older and more demon, and at the age of 35, Benzema is still improving.
After helping Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad 4-1 in La Liga, Benzema has become the player with the most goals scored in the top five leagues this season with 24 goals and 10 assists.
Benzema is also the first player in the five major leagues to score goals and assists to reach "20+10" this season, and Benzema's 212 la Liga goals total ranks ninth in history, and becomes the third player of the 21st century to have more than 100 assists.
The top two are Messi and Alves.
This season, Benzema's stats have exploded, and he has completed 32 games with 27 goals and 12 assists in all competitions for Real Madrid, averaging more than 1 goal per game.
Even more frightening is that Benzema is becoming more and more omnipotent.
At that time, many people joked that Benzema would only carry the pot and would not score goals, but now Benzema can make both cakes and eat cakes, and his possession, breakthrough, planning, scheduling and shooting make him a model of "all-round center forward".
Without C Ronaldo, Real Madrid's Champions League record is not as good as before, but Benzema's performance is getting better and better.
After all, to help C Ronaldo "back the pot" to attract fire, it must limit Benzema's shooting ability, when you give Benzema enough opportunities, without continuing to carry the pot Benzema, will also use better performance to repay you.
After Cristiano Ronaldo left the team, Benzema has scored 20+ goals in La Liga for 4 consecutive seasons!
If you were to ask Benzema if he was active as the first striker? I dare not say, after all, Mbappe or Haaland is still younger, Salah is also beautiful, messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have not retired.
However, I can say that Benzema is certainly the best personal and most technically comprehensive striker in active duty.
Perhaps, this year's World Cup is another brand new opportunity for Benzema and France.
Do you think Benzema is the active number one striker? Welcome to discuss together.
