41 goals in 41 matches

The coolest of geniuses like Benzema is that they always have one more reserved. It doesn’t matter what they carry on their backs that will surprise again. Only they are able to get out unharmed and in flip flops from a pool full of crocodiles like the Etihad tonight.

And it is that his first goal with a top shot and his ‘Doll‘ (plus the career and master’s degree in modern football that he did vinicius to score 3-2) keeps the Real Madrid I live in the playoffs. More alive perhaps than any team that loses 4-3 and the way the whites lost, overwhelmed at times, because they have the card of the Bernabeu to decide the game next Wednesday.

Before him Manchester City they used the one from Benzemaanother asset that only whites have and that in this Champions is always on the table. With this double, he has nine goals in the last four games of the competition (of which he is already top scorer) and equaled the 40 in a single season that they have only reached Cristiano Ronaldo, Hugo Sanchez, Di Stefano and Puskas. In 41 goals in 41 games, his mark remains for the moment.

And when he finished his performance and stood in front of the microphones (there are other geniuses who take these same steps but in reverse in music), Benzema exercised his self-imposed role as leader and began to prepare for the second leg. If it is that he did not already start right at the moment in which he kissed the nets the ball that he put softly in the goal of Ederson.
