Benzema reached, with his two goals against Mallorca, the 200 league goals with Real Madrid. A figure that the club celebrated by giving him a commemorative shirt that Florentino gave him on the pitch of the Bernabéu after the match against the Balearic Islands.
“This club is my whole life,” said the French forward before the club's television cameras. “I hope I can put in many more,” he added. In addition, he got wet when choosing the most special of all those who scored: “I would stay with the first, after Van Nistelrooy at the Bernabéu.”
Karim is still sweet and has had the best start to the season of his life. In the first six league games he has scored eight goals and seven assists. That is, they participate directly in an average of 2.5 goals per game! Some numbers that place him at the moment as the fittest striker in the world.
For now, the only unknown with Benzema is how long will the gasoline last to maintain this great moment of form, since so far he has been a starter in the seven official matches with Real Madrid, to which we must now add the meetings with his team (in previous courses he used the breaks to rest).
“Clearly at this moment Karim is very well. Thinking that he has scored eight goals can make us forget that he is playing very well for the team, assisting… He not only scores, he is complete. When he is tired we will put Jovic in, who is doing very well. It is a difficult competition for Jovic, but what little he plays he is doing very well. Today, against Valencia. When Karim needs rest, he will play, ”Ancelotti said of the Frenchman after the match against Mallorca.
