The arrival of Real
Madrid to the month of May with possibilities both in the League and in Champions has had several culprits. But without a doubt, one of the most relevant has been Karim
Benzema.
The 33-year-old Frenchman has 28 goals and 8 assists in the 42 games he has played. Data that have kept the Real
Madrid in the fight for the titles even in a season in which injuries and infections by coronavirus have played a role as damaging as it is decisive.
But the elimination in Champions before him Chelsea showed that the French needs a partner. That when the '9' is not fine, or suffers from poor aim, there is no one to fill that role. In fact, the team's top scorer after him is Casemiro with seven goals this season.
Failed forward
Neither Hazard, neither Asensio, neither Vinicius, neither Rodrygo, neither Mariano. None of the forwards is able to keep up with the French. In fact, among the four, they only add up to 17, eleven less than those registered Benzema.
So in this fight for The league to which the Real
Madrid has entrusted all the possible success of this season, it will have to be Karim
Benzema the one who, once again, pulls the cart unless I find an unexpected squire in one of the aforementioned names.
Benzema, the only one who sees the door in Madrid
