Karim Benzema made a new performance in the Champions League against Chelsea, which made him the front pages of all the newspapers in the world. The Frenchman scored his hat-trick in a row in the continental championship, this time against Chelsea, leaving Madrid very close to the semi-finals.
And the one who wanted to join the vortex of praise was Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid, “almost his father” in the white team he chose in 2009 and transferred from Lyon to the Bernabeu. The Whites’ boss was clear on Sky Sports’ microphones after the match in London: “The best striker in the world is Benzema.”
It is an announcement from Florentino Perez that Benzema is better than the two most important deals he seeks to include in Real Madrid: Mbappe and Halland.
Karim Benzema has already scored a total of 313 goals in 594 matches and Raul has his sights set on becoming the second highest scorer in Real Madrid’s history. This season, he has scored 37 goals in 36 games in all competitions – the highest scoring average of his career – and is Carlo Ancelotti’s undisputed captain.
“It’s like fine wine,” the Italian coach said between smiles when asked about his top scorer. The 35-year-old is due this coming December and is looking for a luxurious companion (or buddies) with Vinicius to continue his goals.
The wanted star is Kylian Mbappe, who last week questioned his future, and talked about “new elements” around him that could push him to stay in Paris. Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen, in the world’s best club competition, his great friend Karim is trying to “impress” him.
