Benzema only lacks a goal

Benzema is a forward to sometimes indecipherable. Let them tell the defenses of Espanyol, they did not know how to anticipate how he would put his foot on his back to attend Casemiro in high heels and leave one of the most beautiful postcards of the entire season. His appearance in iconic images, such as that in the Calderón, getting rid of the three players of the Athletic around him, contrasts with a goalscorer label, has never married him well despite carrying 9 on his back and have streaks of authentic killer. Sir go further, that of this same season, when in 16 league matches sumo 12 goals, dressed with two separate Champions League doublers at Galatasaray and PSG at the Bernabéu. One of his best scoring moments at Real Madrid and that made him stand at Classic from December messing with Messi in the fight for Pichichi after having been ahead of the Argentine in the league start.

That start cannon League put out. From the aforementioned Classic until the championship was interrupted, the Frenchman scored 2 goals in 11 games, sprinkled with another goal to Zaragoza in the Cup. After the confinement, his scoring appearance has been in flashes: two goals at Valencia and one at Real Society. But since it marked on the Reale Arena already takes 361 minutes on the grass unmarked. Four games without seeing the door.

Or the play of the penalty to Marcelo in San Mamés, which enables the Frenchman with a saved ball from being lost by the baseline with another heel.

On the return to competition, Benzema is the second player of the League that more balls touch in the rival area (41) and what else chances with high probability of scoring creates (4), in both sections only behind Messi. And it ties with the azulgrana in shots on goal (10). But the goal, for the moment, resists him and remains in the hands of Ramos, pichichi LaLiga Santander postconfinition with 5 goals.
