The party of Real Madrid in Mallorca consolidated even more his firm step way to the League title and reaffirmed the excellent format this point in the season and overall in the campaign, which is going through Karim Benzema. The Frenchman was the hero of the comeback against PSG in the Champions League with three goals in the second half that knocked out the French team; on the Balearic island he scored two more, although he fired the shock generating concern, with signs of pain in the left calf.
Before being the bearer of bad news, Benzema once again confirmed that he is having his best season as a professional footballer, by far. First, he assisted Vinicius for me to do 0-1, in what was his 13th assist in the course, the 11th in the Leagueequaling his best markdating from the 2011-12 campaign. And from that season it is also his best goalscoring record, with 32 targets.
He arrived in Mallorca with 30 and equaled the record, thanks to another penalty scored (he has scored seven like this this year; he only missed one, against Elche at the Bernabéu) and a superb header, the 34th he has done in the League. With ten league games ahead and at least two more Champions League games, that it could be up to fiveonly a cataclysm would prevent Karim from breaking his individual white record.
Ancelotti waits for Benzema: “I don’t think it’s serious…”
