An explosive couple

Real Madrid lick their heads seeing what Benzema and Mbappé are capable of doing together. The feast that took place at the expense of Kazakhstan last Saturday, with six goals between the two (a Parisian poker) in the devastating 8-0 of Blues, and the goals alimón in the 0-2 to Finland this Tuesday They have been an empirical demonstration of the chemistry that these two footballers give off when they coincide on the field of play with the same shirt. A complicity that grows and grows before both can exploit it in Chamartín.

“Kylian and I are compatible, we play very well together, we have fun”Karim said after the destruction of the Kazakhs. Flowers that came back, with more, from their friend. “Karim deserves all the good that is happening to him”. It is not in words, his state of form with France is on par with what they are giving with their clubs separately.

Madrid can do the math. The contribution of both at the club and national team level is 57 goals this year, between those scored and the assists given. Benzema, 19 goals (five of them with France) and nine goal passes (one with the Gallo team); Mbappé distributes them as follows: 14 goals (seven are with his country) and 15 assists (four, with France).

At the European level, of the 21 players who have participated in the most goals in the five major leagues, the white team would present with them the greatest firepower of the entire continent. The next most effective duo is that of Lewandowski and Sané (46 goals) and well behind the Salah-Mané tandem (30). For more happiness in Concha Espina, Vinicius also sneaks into that select list. The Brazilian has put his signature on 14 goals (nine goals and five assists). That trident with which Ancelotti and Real Madrid snicker has been involved in 68 goals. Reasons to scare.

Focusing only on how they operate in their clubs, have been turned into a machine gun cagainst his rivals. Benzema is the second in Europe with the most shots (51) and Mbappé, the sixth (41 kicks).

A 2021 in which they are launched

Deschamps’ decision to back down and recall Benzema is allowing PSG’s refusal to sell Mbappé last summer from putting his partnership with Benzema on the loose. In this year of transition until they are free they are creating ties with their country. But the important thing is that they do not step on any corn when they play together. Important issue when we talk about two players in the Top-4 top gunners in the major leagues this calendar year if we stick to their clubs. Mbappé would be the bronze (35 goals) and Benzema, the fourth (32).

But especially, you can see the respect that Kylian feels for Karim, whom he sees almost as an idol. In the last four games in France, the still PSG attacker has given four assists and all of them went to the Real Madrid player. Of the nine that Benzema has scored on his return to France, six came from the hand of his friend. The best proof that the acronym duet KB9-KM7 can put Madrid in the stratosphere as it has not been seen since the last great 7 who inhabited the Bernabéu, Cristiano Ronaldo.
