Karim Benzema is someone who gets his fair amount of criticism, and it seems that this season, there are a fair few more detractors than there are supporters of the striker.
Zidane and Benzema himself have come out to shoot said critics down, with Gary Lineker one of the most vocal pundits to voice an opinion Real Madrid didn’t like – but against Tottenham Hotspur he went missing and everyone was quick to blame him.
There’s no denying the majority of the Real Madrid side were poor – with the defence and midfield lacking at best, but the lack of goals from Benzema is becoming a real issue for the La Liga side – and while he didn’t have a good game, Ronaldo duly scored to make it 3-1, and at least got his name on the score sheet.
The question of if Real need to buy a better forward is certainly being asked at the minute – as is the question of just why Alvaro Morata was allowed to leave for Chelsea.
