Who won for Real Madrid? Needless to say, Benzema!
In this La Liga in the early morning of the 18th, Real Madrid finally scored 3 goals away from home under extremely difficult circumstances, achieving a 3-2 reverse victory, boosting morale and basically making this season's La Liga championship without suspense, 15 points of leadership and their performance of not dropping the chain at key moments, so that other teams can only sigh. Benzema, who once again scored a key goal, already had a chance to go for the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year.
Turning the clock back to the stoppage time of the game, the Frenchman received a pass from his teammate and fired a cool shot, the ball into the net, and he locked the score at 3-2. Helping the team to three points with a key goal is a very happy thing for a striker, and in fact, in the last game against Chelsea, it was Benzema who scored in extra time, which eventually helped Real Madrid eliminate the defending champions and successfully advance to the champions league final four this season.
The 34-year-old makes many people not optimistic about Benzema's current position in Real Madrid, and even once media analysis said that perhaps he should be another former courtier purged by Real Madrid, but the fact is that the Frenchman used his own goals to punch critics in the face again and again, in fact, not only this season, last season he played well, and now, his state continues to rise like a rocket.
So far, he has made 39 appearances in all competitions for Real Madrid, scoring 39 goals, averaging as much as any top striker, and now he has scored 25 goals in La Liga, setting a new career record. According to the data, in 2022, Benzema made 16 appearances and only scored in 4 games, while in 12 games with goals, he actually scored a total of 19 goals and 4 assists.
In the past 2 months, Benzema's state can even be described as "crazy", he only did not score in the game against Getafe, including the "hat trick" against Paris and Chelsea, and the "double score" against Mallorca and Celta.
No wonder some Spanish media said that if he continues this state, maybe the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year, there will be a strong contender, of course, this depends not only on his status in Real Madrid, but also on his performance in the French national team.
