This season alone, Benzema has been in top form, providing his club with a great striker and showing the world of Football that he still has what it takes to become a world-class striker! Here is what Benzema had to say!
“When you play with a guy who scored 50 or 60 goals a season, of course, you are at the service of the player because he is someone who scored a lot, I had to adapt; I adapted. He left. So it was down to me to make a step forward and show that I could make the difference.”
The main reason why people are starting to notice this striker is due to his performance against Chelsea in the Champions League recently! He scored 3 goals throughout the game and provided great support to his teammates throughout the game. One massive and great striker for the world to see!
