Benzema’s other record

And Benzema He rides in one of his sports cars with sixth gear engaged to the Ballon d’Or It is not only thanks to their 44 goals this season, also to his other facet as a goal creator for others. In the destruction of Levante (6-0) the Frenchman assisted Vinicius after a carousel of feints crowned with a final dribble to Cárdenas. It is his 15th assist this season, with it he ties his personal record at Madrid which he left established in two seasons, 2011-12 and 2012-13. Nearly a decade later, Karim can outdo himself. He has three games to get it.

The construction of the Lyon attacker as a total striker had Benzema more focused, apparently, on being Cristiano’s luxury squire, the one who went against the mills. Over there KB9 as it has always liked to sign the French became more diez what nine. Now the tables have been reversed, but without forgetting the essence. What he said in 2014 (“What I love the most is the beautiful and colorful game, that’s why I also like to give assists”) he continues to apply.

This year he applied the spark of the beginning of the later alirón. In the first six days of the League he gave seven assists and with them he mobilized his teammates (they were for four different players), but especially to Vinicius. It is Come on who mentally unlocked himself against the opposing goal had the initial help of Karim, who gave him three goal passes in that kick-off of the course. A crucial detail.

The Golden Boot, an impossible

The Frenchman had the opportunity, before an agonizing Levante, to have burned his last cartridge to try to hunt down Lewandowski. That only goal against the granotas in a white festival fell short. He is still tied on 27 league goals with Immobile (Lazio) but Lewandowski’s 34 have become unattainable. Yes indeed, his first Pichichi in the Spanish League is more than assured because the next ones are Vinicius and Aspas and both are ten goals away from the French.
