The best Benzema for the peak of the season. The Real Madrid striker added his seventh consecutive game against Eibar, scoring (The series does not coincide with the white team's schedule because Karim missed three games due to injury), an unprecedented streak in a prolific career in which he is six games away from reaching 700 games in the elite.

The striker has a gun and a new partner. The gun is on his head. Almost three out of every ten goals (7 of 24) he has scored this season have been with the head, according to Opta data. In the league, only Sevillista En-Nesyri equals the Madridista's five head goals. Three of the last nine have been exploiting this facet, which has not been one of their specialties throughout their careers (averaging one in six). His comrade is Vinicius. Having overcome the controversy of that conversation between Benzema and Mendy in Mönchengladbach, they have established a connection that gives Madrid revenue. The Brazilian assisted him against Getafe, as he started his current streak, and against Eibar, the last, for now, in the series.
At 33 years old, the goals are proof of Benzema's enviable form. For a few months, his publications on social networks have been common, exercising at home, complementing the work he does every morning with his colleagues in Valdebebas.
The next appointments on the calendar are your fetish competition and unfinished business. The Champions uncovers the best essences of Benzema. In Europe, it has historically better scoring data than in the League. A double appointment against Liverpool between which the Clásico against Barça appears interspersed. Of the teams he has faced at least ten times, the azulgrana is the second, after Atlético, that is worse. It takes him 280 minutes to score a goal (9 goals in 35 games with Madrid). The last one was marked in August 2017, in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup. Touch truncate a streak to extend another. Benzema is packed towards the goal.
