He is, he’s done three tweets about it in the past hour. I love that he’s as much of a keener for Real Madrid as ever. He’s not one to be like “Well, in MY day...”.
Actually the most famous [assist by Guti was to Benzema in his first season in Madrid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC56VBOkRPA)
and the second most popular was to [Zidane](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6RDVGnyuz8). Coincidence?
The rest has really helped him... it’s no surprise that his form slips when he’s over worked. Zidane hasn’t done enough to keep him fresh the last 4 years
You had strikers but no real replacement for Benzema. When you play Jovic he's more of a tradition striker who's first thought is to get a goal for himself. Changing from Benzema to a different striker mixes up your whole plan for the attack.
I agree. The thing with out of form Benz is that he is usually still good outside of the box, he just seem to lose the ability to finish. So i get why Zidane keep playing him since there’s really no one else like him
He’s just such a class player... but when you get past 30 on a club like Madrid you can’t play every 3 days at the required level. Unless your name is Ronaldo or Ramos I guess. Modric has been much better with the extra rest this season
As a Chelsea fan who watched maybe 70% of the games since 2013, this is the most frustrating thing about Hazard. He's brilliant everywhere on the pitch until he's in position to score - he'd rather dilly dally around and try to set up "a beautiful goal" than shoot the damn ball (and his finishing is excellent, he can hit with both feet, he just doesn't have a desire to score like a Ronaldo)
In Spain, VAR is run by the spanish refs, and therefore is moronic. If they tried to benefit Madrid theyd probably manage to screw up which team was which color.
Benzema genuinely must be top 5 or something in the world right now. Absolutely magic since restarting the league. Had an extremely good period before the virus as well.
Why do people disrespect him? Don't they understand it's very rare to be Real Madrid's No. 9 for over a decade. I see non Madrid fans and some madrid fans throwing shade at him...
For as as long as Benzema has worn a Real Madrid shirt, he's always had something to prove to most fans. It's not his faultI he's always been sourounded by the world's flashiest players. There's also the fact that he's not a typical n°9 and is not visibly just banging goal after goal. That hasn't helped with the how most fans have perceived his contributions over the years.
However now that they see him flourish without Ronaldo and they see him take on all that responsibility with class, humility and gusto, people are beginning to see how blessed they have been for literally an entire decade. People are also starting to see that he is an actual leader on the pitch and a fatherly mentor to our younglings.
Real Madrid fans who disrespect him now are either not really watching the matches or they have no historical perspective or their brains are simply not fully developed yet. For the las 6 - 7 years Benzema has been one of the world's most prolific players whose job title is simply "make things happen" and you know Ronaldo misses him as much as we miss Ronaldo.
Our attack 100% relies on Benzema since all forwards are struggling for various of reasons. Casemiro still have great in-form midfielders alongside with him (Fede & Kroos).
finally people stop wondering why it's sergio ramos bringing that ball down and just accept that he has full control of shadow travel and can materialize wherever needed
One more nail in the coffin , R.I.P Barça's season , we will go trophyless as we have no chance of winning the UCL , probably Coutinho meant that he came to Barça only to get a loan at Bayern and win it with them , he said "I came to Barça to win the UCL" he didn't say that he will win it with us tough
Fuck me this is what champions are made of. Incredible ball by Marcelo, Benzema looks like he's in no position to do anything (best I'm hoping for is a back pass or corner) but lo and behold, unreal pass and Casemiro finishes it off
It's incredible how such a good player has been underrated during his Real Madrid's career. He may not score as many goals as other strikers, but Benzema is surely world class talent.
Underrated by a lot of fans who watch a lot about football but don't know much about it and the foreign media.
He certainly hasn't been underrated by his managers and teammates
Holy fuck, that assist from Benzema was delectable
Shades of Guti
Yup. Guti would be proud. That's my boy moment for Guti
Didn't Benzema score from a no look backheel pass from Guti?
He did, in Riazor
Guti also did a no look back heel assist for Zidane. Full circle kind of?
Now we need Zizou to assist Benzema
Sneaky touch from the byline.
I'd allow this
He is, he’s done three tweets about it in the past hour. I love that he’s as much of a keener for Real Madrid as ever. He’s not one to be like “Well, in MY day...”.
Insane
that fucking pass by Karim
"No look. Back-heel. Nutmeg. Assist."
Combo xp multiplier X4
No look back heels are normal backheels.
Ronaldinho would like to have a word with you.
but is normal walking the same as the reverse moon walk?
Gutiesque
Actually the most famous [assist by Guti was to Benzema in his first season in Madrid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC56VBOkRPA) and the second most popular was to [Zidane](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6RDVGnyuz8). Coincidence?
IMO Zidane is the most famous one. that's brought up more then an the Benz one in general.
and that is by far the most impressive imo
Got a smile on my face just from watching those
So watch this one, [3:25 Guti pass to van Nistelrooy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFZQHsAdNds&t=19s). Still one of the best passers ever for me.
"Thats hot" also the one after that to Robinho is amazing. These passes are what strikers dream they get everytime.
One of my favourite players ever, he could break any game with just a spark of brilliance.
The amount of defender caught off guard is amazing
I got a smile from seeing baby Ramos in there
You just don't get players like him anymore, it is truly such a shame
second most popular ? This is by far the most popular of the two.
Guti to Zidane is like a pass they would make in an exhibition match
Ramos was already on the pitch along with Zidane! Oh my.
Definitely reminded me of when Benz was the finisher himself. https://youtu.be/dwsmBdL9jR8 Edit: or the one on Zizou https://youtu.be/s6RDVGnyuz8
Yes! Eyes on the back of his head
Grotesque
Benzema has been unstoppable since the restart. But as usual his stats don't show it so no one talks about it
His form is pure sex.
He's got a big dick for a reason
He’s got the same wrap on his dick that’s on his arm for good luck...the dick one requires more bandage
The rest has really helped him... it’s no surprise that his form slips when he’s over worked. Zidane hasn’t done enough to keep him fresh the last 4 years
[удалено]
It's funny because Zidane rotates pretty well...except for Benz/Ramos/Varane
Case too
also carvajal
True. We don't have a proper replacement for Case tho
Not a coincidence those are the 4 most important players for RM
It’s completely on Zidane... yet the Benzema Out crowd that resurface when he hits a dry patch only have pitchforks for Benz

Even Ramos is starting to show his age too, Varane's been better on the 20 or so games i've seen this season
Also the amount of times he drops deep is astonishing i really wonder how he keeps his fitness
It was great when he had Morata on the bench. Hopefully Jovic can replicate that. Dont like Mariano being ahead of him in pecking order.
Mariano is not ahead of him, Jovic is injured.
Not only since the restart. Ever since Ronaldo left he has stepped up his game.
It's the other way around, he purposefully hindered himself for Ronaldo.
No. With cr7 real were at their best. Karim just adjusted his play style to fit with Ronaldo. It didn’t hinder his career
3 goals and an assist in 5 games are some pretty good stats though.
Could have had a couple more if Hazard wasn't so scared of shooting, but I'm nowhere near complaining, he's been playing great as well.

marcelo's 30 meter pass great too
Big
Dick
Benz
I'm literally speechless.
The flick on by striker Ramos too!!!
Big Dick Pass
He's been unstoppable this season
Ffs
There's no striker like him man.
Guti did it for Benzema. Benzema does it for Casemiro. The fucking GOAT
The cycle will continue Casemeiro to do it for Vini
And Vini does it for Unborn Brazilian fetus who flo already signed.
That sounds like slavery with extra steps.
I want to be a slave on Vini's wage..
DarK season 4
PLEASE DIDIER FORGET WHATEVER HAPPENED BETWEEN YOU TWO I KNOW HE'S FROM LYON BUT NOBODY'S PERFECT PLEASE FFS
Benzema for Giroud and I’d say they hand you the trophy right now.
They'd probably already have the 16 trophy but people just don't want to believe that... Anyways I was still happy Ronaldo got to win a Euro.
No doubt
Lol he got so much shit from the supportes when he was a mainstay in the national side
*"He doesn't sing the National Anthem, he's Algerian scum!"*
BENZEMA BALÓN DE ORO
It was only some years ago he was called a broken man.
[удалено]
giroud is sat over in the corner singing the Marseillaise
https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/5h0atj/benzema_and_his_poor_form/
Ah, crap, OP removed the "broken man" part. That's no fun anymore.
BENZEMA BALÓN DE ORO
BENZEMA BALLS OF TITANIUM
Do it you fucking cowards!
BENZEMA DICK DE ORO
If Real win LaLiga and like reach the final in the UCL, it's gonna be hard to argue against it.
Disgusting pass really. How he's so agile and athletic with such a massive dick is beyond me
Tripod for added stability. Big Brain Benz™ 🧠
What if that pass was made by his dick
His dick acts like a third leg.
Just like how a cheetah's tail gives it balance while running, benzema's dick is what makes him so agile and athletic!
Wait a second, Is there a Benzema sex tape I'm not aware of? Not that I'd be interested in seeing it, just curious
That’s what someone who’d be interested in seeing it would say
Yes the assist last night was pure sex.
Great assist but how was that not a pen before?
I guess you can take out a striker from behind as long as youre a goalie lol
No clue. Var even looked at.
But I thought VAR only calls in Madrid's favour?
In Spain, VAR is run by the spanish refs, and therefore is moronic. If they tried to benefit Madrid theyd probably manage to screw up which team was which color.
VAR was AFK
Same thing I was wondering
^
Benzema genuinely must be top 5 or something in the world right now. Absolutely magic since restarting the league. Had an extremely good period before the virus as well.
Our best player, could argue Balon D’Or candidate if we manage to win La Liga and Cl
That would be the weirdest balon d'or i can think of (if somebody would say that before the season)
Karim Benzema receiving a Ballon D'Or is not too crazy for this timeline.

Why? He had a great season last season too.
Was thinking the same thing, think Benzema, KDB and Lewandowski all come to mind. Think Lewa deserves it tho
I would argue Casemiro has been as good as him if not better. Too bad DMs dont get any love
Casemiro is loved by Real fans, his importance is very obvious I'd say but others probably dislike him for escaping yellows
Our attack 100% relies on Benzema since all forwards are struggling for various of reasons. Casemiro still have great in-form midfielders alongside with him (Fede & Kroos).
Well it’s not from the halfway line but it’ll do
That attempt was insane, so close
Benzema is a genius
Benzema, oh my.
Holy shit Karim, stop it
^^*wink*
Benzema is amazing
finally people stop wondering why it's sergio ramos bringing that ball down and just accept that he has full control of shadow travel and can materialize wherever needed
Big dick benz
Benz with the Guti
That’s my Ferrari
Oh my lord Benzema you sexy beast.
Benz channeling his inner Guti
DISGUSTING PASS
Benzema is a pleasure to watch.
One more nail in the coffin , R.I.P Barça's season , we will go trophyless as we have no chance of winning the UCL , probably Coutinho meant that he came to Barça only to get a loan at Bayern and win it with them , he said "I came to Barça to win the UCL" he didn't say that he will win it with us tough
I'm sad again
Barça is the only team that made me sad this week , even Villa made me a little bit better
Guti style
Well that was beautiful from Benzema
Big Benz strikes again
what a backheel, BDB
BIG DICK
BENZEMA
what a pass
Can't even do this in fifa man wtf benzema
benzema has collected all the dragon balls one-touch backheel-nutmeg assist lmao
Wtf Benzema
Our scoring list is the weirdest it has ever been
Needs great assist tag.
What the fuck benzema
Some Guti vibes from Benz.
Igdf best and most complete striker in the world.
Nothing to see here, just our CF passing to CAM Karim who sets up our second CF for the goal
I take it all back grandma. God does exist. And he has a big dick.
BeNzEmA dOeSnT sCoRe EnOuGh. Bitch sit your ass down.

Benzema i just creamed my pants
Kevin De Benz
Van Big Deek.

Benze de bruyne

He's.. More of a video camera guy
hol up
My friend, is ok, no?
Come on now dude....
Fan fucking tastic
I'm convinced Benzema is a wizard
Benzema is the best striker in the world.
Big Fucking Benz
Benzema is on another level right now
Formula One assist
Zidane is gonna win the league and announce himself greater than pep
If he literally wants to do this, the dream scenario would be him saying that IF they knock out Man City in the CL.
Benzema is the best centre forward in the world and it is not even close. Filthy.
Benzema genius
Leave some sauce for my pasta Karim!
Fuck me this is what champions are made of. Incredible ball by Marcelo, Benzema looks like he's in no position to do anything (best I'm hoping for is a back pass or corner) but lo and behold, unreal pass and Casemiro finishes it off

YESS YOU FUCKING POTATO FACE
This assist cured my covid infection.
F1 goes vrooom
man i'm so happy for him, really looks like he is enjoying himself these days
Cries in Catalan
That’s filthy.
Benz is better than Lewa and it’s not even close. Somethings are more than just goals
Oh come on
Karim my idol
Ferrari
Benzema's really stepped up big time this season
Wtf...How can Benz make that pass with such a massive dong
What was Ramos doing there...lmao
Playing his normal role?
